Thanks Franklin,

However I have a doubt here. What is the importance of "." here. When I tried the *pattern* it did not worked, but when I tried with .*pattern.* it worked fine for me. This will help my understanding of sed.

Thanks again,

NAME
Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern - Routes pattern engine SYNOPSIS
use Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern; # Create pattern my $pattern = Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern->new('/test/:name'); # Match routes my $result = $pattern->match('/test/sebastian'); say $result->{name}; DESCRIPTION
Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern is the core of Mojolicious::Routes. ATTRIBUTES
Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern implements the following attributes. "defaults" my $defaults = $pattern->defaults; $pattern = $pattern->defaults({foo => 'bar'}); Default parameters. "format" my $regex = $pattern->format; $pattern = $pattern->format($regex); Compiled regex for format matching. "pattern" my $pattern = $pattern->pattern; $pattern = $pattern->pattern('/(foo)/(bar)'); Raw unparsed pattern. "quote_end" my $quote = $pattern->quote_end; $pattern = $pattern->quote_end(']'); Character indicating the end of a quoted placeholder, defaults to ")". "quote_start" my $quote = $pattern->quote_start; $pattern = $pattern->quote_start('['); Character indicating the start of a quoted placeholder, defaults to "(". "regex" my $regex = $pattern->regex; $pattern = $pattern->regex($regex); Pattern in compiled regex form. "relaxed_start" my $relaxed = $pattern->relaxed_start; $pattern = $pattern->relaxed_start('*'); Character indicating a relaxed placeholder, defaults to "#". "reqs" my $reqs = $pattern->reqs; $pattern = $pattern->reqs({foo => qr/w+/}); Regex constraints. "symbol_start" my $symbol = $pattern->symbol_start; $pattern = $pattern->symbol_start(':'); Character indicating a placeholder, defaults to ":". "symbols" my $symbols = $pattern->symbols; $pattern = $pattern->symbols(['foo', 'bar']); Placeholder names.

Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following ones. "new" my $pattern = Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern->new('/:action'); my $pattern = Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern->new('/:action', action => qr/w+/); my $pattern = Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern->new(format => 0); Construct a new pattern object. "match" my $result = $pattern->match('/foo/bar'); my $result = $pattern->match('/foo/bar', 1); Match pattern against entire path, format detection is disabled by default. "parse" $pattern = $pattern->parse('/:action'); $pattern = $pattern->parse('/:action', action => qr/w+/); $pattern = $pattern->parse(format => 0); Parse a raw pattern. "render" my $path = $pattern->render({action => 'foo'}); my $path = $pattern->render({action => 'foo'}, 1); Render pattern into a path with parameters, format rendering is disabled by default. "shape_match" my $result = $pattern->shape_match($path); my $result = $pattern->shape_match($path, 1); Match pattern against path and remove matching parts, format detection is disabled by default.
