Have you looked at the forward() method?

The second argument is a hashref with the params you want to pass along.


That is good advice. I will check out forward(), however, in this case I think I do want a redirect. I am trying to implement an HTTP permanent redirect, so I want the URI to change in the address bar. Which is why I want to pass the entire params hashref to the new URI.



from 'perldoc Dancer':

   forward
       Runs an internal redirect of the current request to another request.
       This helps you avoid having to redirect the user using HTTP and set
       another request to your application.

fantastic... both those suggestions worked well.

However, the add-on question is that other query params didn't get "redirected" as well. I am guessing I have to "manually" add them to the redirect command just as I am adding the param('format') bit. However, since I don't know the params that might have been sent to the old URI, is there a way to send with the redirect request whatever params are in the query string?
