Thanks for CGI::Application::Dispatch - I'll add that to my above roundup table. I don't quite understand the finer points of the dispatch interface, but some longer study of the documentation will hopefully tell me ;-)

My idea would work transparently for GET and POST queries because CGI (as an example) abstracts both into the ->param() function and even mixes and mashes the parameters together if I tell it to.

To me, the query path and the query parameters are more or less the same, except that the query path has no name, while the query parameters are name-value pairs. The functional programming languages (I'm thinking of Haskell) also have value-based function signatures, and my approach would be similar to that.
