According to your wiki page, my solution is thus:

package MyApp;

sub _date :Regex('^(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})(.*)$') {
     my ($self, $c) = @_;
     my ($date, $rest) = @{$c->req->captures};
     $c->req->path($rest);
     $c->dispatcher->prepare_action($c);
     $c->go($c->action, $c->req->args);
}

This exhibits exactly the behaviour I was looking for.

Thanks,
