I actually wrote something that supported this syntax
a few months ago pushed it to the mailing list for
comments but it didn't seem that anyone was
interested. Maybe we'll prefer this syntax instead? 
Anyway, attached is what I wrote, it let's you match
on multiple method types like:

sub catchall :   Local
                 ActionClass('Rest')
                 Method('PUT')
                 Method('POST')
{}

I had intended to do more with this, like to enable
some sort of automatic in/deflation of xml objects
based on the incoming message body, but got
sidetracked on some paying projects.

Maybe we could combine efforts?
