If you have "get" calls as in Plugin::Sitemap then they'll get evaluated 
once, when the plugin gets loaded so it's not going to know anything 
about your sub-apps.

So - I would put them in a "register_routes" sub, and make sure that 
gets called when the plugin gets loaded. I'd also add an optional 
parameter that lets you set up a custom prefix.

Then, you can call register_routes to set up your meta routes for each 
sub-app.

I'm not sure where you get information like "author" from, but that 
process might need some tweaks too if it can be different for each app.
