Short answer: Use Local actions and mod_rewrite or a custom rewrite  
plugin.

Not so short answer: Your "forum" controller looks like it wants to  
be a application, which could be deployed as a mod_perl handler or  
FCGI with whatever prefix you want. There is no need to stuff all  
functionality in a single Cat app just because it's possible.
