    $q->path_param(qw(foo bar baz));    # same as $q->path_info('/foo/bar/baz')

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module adds the feature of parsing PATH_INFO to CGI as a plugin.

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=head2 path_param(@)

If the arguments are specified, the values joined by / is set to path_info.
Otherwise, it returns the list of path_info split.

=cut

sub path_param {
    my $self = shift;

    if (@_) {

        # When path_info(undef), only returns current path_info data.
        # The behavior is same as path_info()
        # However, that of path_param(undef) is *NOT* same as path_param().
        # Because path_param($param) occurs two kinds of behavior
        # whether $param is undef or not.

        $self->path_info( join q{/}, map { $self->escape($_) } @_ );

        return $self;
    }

    if ( !$self->path_info ) {
        return;
    }

    return map { $self->unescape($_) }
      split m{/}msx, substr $self->path_info, 1;
}
