Authorize regexp in Plack::App::URLMap

Hi,
I understand that we cannot currently use regexp in the path when mounting an application, mainly due to:
push @{$self->{_mapping}}, [ $host, $location, qr/^\Q$location\E/, $app ];
in: Plack::App::URLMap
I would like to know:
- if there is a way to do it right now without modifying the code
- what is the rational behing using the \Q and avoiding regexp (i suspect something linked to security reasons)
- if it could be possible to add a $ENV parameter for authorizing the use of regexp in the map() something along:
``if ( $ENV{PLACK_URLMAP_ALLOWREGEX} ) {
push @{$self->{_mapping}}, [ $host, $location, qr/^$location/, $app ];
} else {
push @{$self->{_mapping}}, [ $host, $location, qr/^\Q$location\E/, $app ];
}
(happy to provide a real patch if ok in the idea)
Best,
Mathieu
