[Catalyst] Base URI breakdown

[Trevor Phillips]

In a Catalyst app, I need to break down the base request URL to
extract hostname, port, etc separately.

I could do this with a regexp on $c->request->base, or I could use the
URI perl lib, but is there already a way to access this within
Catalyst?

The docs say that $c->request->base is a string only, whereas I'd like
to access separately bits like $c->request->base->host and
$c->request->base->port.
