That's true, explicit declaration is kind of clean. But if I end up doing this in several projects, then I'll want to make a plugin out of it. I'm not sure how yet. Maybe a role that adds a router_REST function to OX?Adding a keyword would even be better, but I'm not sure how to go about that. (see Post Scriptum at the end of this message)

At the moment that seems to be OX's biggest weak points: the lack of shared plugins on CPAN. In a way its strength compensates for this: it's easy to leverage CPAN to write your own and plug them to a project. But still...

PS: So, how to add a keyword? Either it can simply be a function, which has to be declared earlier so that it doesn't need parenthesis (is that right?); I'm not sure how to achieve this with a role. Or one can create a keyword using the pluggable keyword. Unfortunately there seems to be a pretty steep learning curve (any link to a friendly tutorial?). Haha!! I just found Keyword::Simple, I don't know how good or bad that is. It is very new.
