    my $c = shift;

    if ($c->path eq '/admin'){
        $c->body('admin area restricted');
        return; #<-- will stop dispatching
    };

    #continue dispatching
    $c->$next();

Command

Create application tree inside some folder

$ cd /some/path/app
$ perlcake -init App

This will create the following app tree

+ app.psgi
+ app.cgi
+ lib/App.pm
+ lib/App/Controllers
+ lib/App/Model
+ static

Route Methods

get '/' => sub {};
post '/' => sub{};
del '/' => sub {};
put '/' => sub {};
head '/' => sub {};

any '/' => sub {};
any => ['post', 'get'] => sub {};

Route Paths

+ '/'                  # absolute direct path
+ '/something/:[name]' # capture second path as name
+ '/:(.*?)'            # regex captured as first splat
+ qr{.*?}              # regex

When using routes from controllers you don't have to set absolute path and it will match against controller name space

package App::Controllers::Test

get '' => sub {};   #will match /test
get 'another' => sub {}; #will match /test/another
...
