[Mason] URL fixing

[ogden n. <on...@wa...>]

Hi,

I have an interesting question and hopefully someone has experience or 
insight with this.

For our site (a Myspace.com type site for fun), the URLs are currently:

http://www.url.com/members/email/email_msg.csc?to_member=39

(For emailing a member on the site).

However, I would prefer if the URL would be:

http://www.url.com/members/email/email_msg/39
or
http://www.url.com/members/view_picture_comments/41 (where 41 is the 
picture ID from the database).

So I can do a dhandler in the top level of /members/:

<%init>
my $member = (split /\//, $r->uri)[-1];
my $action = (split/\//, $r->uri)[-2];

if ($action eq "email_msg"){
$m->comp("../email/email_to_member.csc", to_member => $member);
}elsif ($action eq "view_picture_comments"){
$m->comp("../pictures/view_comments.csc", pictureID => $member);
}
...........
</%init>

Is this an ugly way to do things? I also would have to pass each 
argument that the components need from the dhandler to the component 
(like $subject, $body, etc). This will make the %args list insanely big, 
as it will have to gather ALL arguments ever needed for the site.

Is it even worth doing - maybe I'm being too anal...

Thank you

Ogden
