Match any GET path with Mojolicious::Lite

Question

Hello!

I’d like to match any GET request in Mojolicious::Lite. The code looks like this:

get '.*' => sub {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->render(text => 'Nothing to see here, move along.');
};

This dies with “Modification of non-creatable array value attempted” at MojoX::Routes::Pattern.pm, line 301. I tried other arguments to get, like qr//. That works for /, but does not match /foo. I also tried to peek at the source, but I’m none the wiser. Are you?

I think you want:

get '/(*restofpath)' => ...

(The restofpath is a name that will allow you to retrieve the actual pathname later, should you need it...). For more details, look at the documentation for wilcard placeholders.
