Greetings, fellow monks.

I am currently working on an Ajax-driven web application, which has a data access layer written in Perl. There are two distinct entities that actions are performed on, called containers and objects. I am currently rewriting urls that look like /actions/container/create or /actions/object/delete to my actions script, and passing in a type parameter to mark whether we are to perform operations on objects or containers.

I am planning on writing a dispatch table to handle all of the available actions passed to the script, but I was wondering: is there a way to write nested dispatch tables, so that I can dispatch based on the type as well? I was planning on having separate tables for containers versus objects, but can't seem to wrap my head around how I'd go about implementing this.

Thanks,

Spidy
