My understanding is that this should return whatever gets captured by
the regular expression in the parens. In this case, any request for
anything in [cat_root]/images/ or [cat_root]/css/

I'm using Static to serve some JS (since I can't put it on a separate
location due to cross-site scripting issues..??) from the standalone
development server script like this:


__PACKAGE__->config->{static}->{dirs} = ['pdf_tmp','static','static/javascript'];
 __PACKAGE__->config->{static}->{ignore_extensions} = [ qw/tt2 asp php/ ];

 __PACKAGE__->config->{static}->{mime_types} = {
        pdf => 'application/octet-stream', 
    };

... in my "MyApp".pm module (not a M, V, or C).

I don't know if this is the *best* way, but it works, for me, for now.

HTH,
