       Path::Dispatcher::Match - the result of a successful rule match

SYNOPSIS

	   my $rule = Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Tokens->new(
	       tokens => [ 'attack', qr/^w+$/ ],
	       block  => sub {
		   my $match = shift;
		   attack($match->pos(2))
	       },
	   );

	   my $match = $rule->match("attack dragon");

	   # introspection
	   $match->path 	       # "attack dragon"
	   $match->leftover	       # empty string (populated with prefix rules)
	   $match->rule 	       # $rule
	   $match->positional_captures # ["attack", "dragon"] (decided by the rule)
	   $match->pos(1)	       # "attack"
	   $match->pos(2)	       # "dragon"

	   $match->run		       # attack("dragon")

DESCRIPTION

       If a Path::Dispatcher::Rule successfully matches a path, it creates one or more "Path::Dispatcher::Match" objects.

ATTRIBUTES

   rule
       The Path::Dispatcher::Rule that created this match.

   path
       The path that the rule matched.

   leftover
       The rest of the path. This is populated when the rule matches a prefix of the path.

   positional_captures
       Any positional captures generated by the rule. For example, Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Regex populates this with the capture variables.

   named_captures
       Any named captures generated by the rule. For example, Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Regex populates this with named captures.

   parent
       The parent match object, if applicable (which may be set if this match is the child of, for exampl, a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Under prefix)

METHODS

   run
       Executes the rule's codeblock with the same arguments.

   pos($i)
       Returns the $ith positional capture, 1-indexed.
