I like both - thought I think the structured args approach will be mucho clearer for perl newbies and casuals.

I am worried about the efficiency of matching an actual URL against the parsed definitions. Do you have thoughts on how you are going to make this efficient? Efficiency being memory based for some, and speed based for others?

    I haven't thought about the speed at all yet, but seeing that the same decision tree is executed in traditional code as well, I don't think this will be much of a problem. Maybe the Prolog approach will be a performance problem, but first I want to get the syntax convenient before I worry about the implementation too much.
