As of Version 5.7, Catalyst has the Chained dispatch type, which makes the common stuff regexes were used for more easy: 

#   chain to /
sub local : Chained PathPart('foo') { ... }

#   chain to the foo action
sub bar : Chained('foo') CaptureArgs(1) { ... }

#   endpoint, chain to bar action
sub baz : Chained('bar') Args(1) { ... }

This gives a /foo/bar/*/baz/* resource where * stands for one argument. If /foo/bar/23/baz/17 is requested, first 'foo' will be run, then 'bar' with '23' as argument, and at last 'baz' with an argument of '17'.
