routes containing dots

[Tom Sante]

Dear,

In my router I am trying to match a uid contained in my url like this:

/post/:uid

but if the ':uid' part contains a dot it isn't captured in the uid parameter but set as 'format'
Is there a way I can force it to ignore format matching and have ':uid' capture everything including dots?

So if a url is this:

/post/abcdef.ghe1
=> I want :uid = 'abcdef.ghe1'
=> but instead I now get :uid = 'abcdef' and format ='ghe1'

I could just concatenate uid and format with a dot in between but was hoping to avoid a workaround like that.

Thanks,

Tom

Yeah but my placeholder is at the end of the url not followed by something else.
It's the fact that the placeholder is at the end that mojo wants to make the 'format' be anything after the dot because its automatically detected and stored in the stash value 'format', and I don't want that.

Works fine here.

---------8<---------
use Mojolicious::Lite;

get '/#test' => sub {
my $self = shift;
$self->render_text( $self->param('test') );
};

app->start;

 What Gabriel Vieira is trying to say is that a route with a colon is a "standard placeholder" that matches all but "." and "/".  But a route with a "#" is a relaxed placeholder and matches anything but "/" and then there is a route with a "*" wildcard placeholders that matches anything to end of URL.

See: http://mojolicious.org/perldoc/Mojolicious/Guides/Routing#Relaxed-placeholders 

Example

get '/add/:id/#param1/*param_rest'
