Hey Joel,
If you know the level, and you want to be explicit, you can try the default route syntax: '/media/*/*'. However, you will most likely prefer a regular expression (which you tried earlier), and Dancer allows that very easily since Perl considers regexes as first class: get qr/.../ => sub { ... };
We prefer to wrap qr() with something other than slashes, so we don't get into a backslash fight: get qr{ / media / (.*) }x => sub { ... };
Enjoy!
I feel compelled to caution about how the use of regexs can open security holes in your application. Another way to go would be to traverse the directory(s) and generate routes based on the findings in a before action. -- my 2 cents -- Al
