         my $pattern
           = Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern->new('/:action', action => qr/\w+/);
         my $pattern = Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern->new(format => 0);

       Construct a new Mojolicious::Routes::Pattern object and "parse" pattern if necessary.

   match
         my $captures = $pattern->match('/foo/bar');
         my $captures = $pattern->match('/foo/bar', 1);

       Match pattern against entire path, format detection is disabled by default.

   match_partial
         my $captures = $pattern->match_partial(\$path);
         my $captures = $pattern->match_partial(\$path, 1);

       Match pattern against path and remove matching parts, format detection is disabled by
       default.

   parse
         $pattern = $pattern->parse('/:action');
         $pattern = $pattern->parse('/:action', action => qr/\w+/);
         $pattern = $pattern->parse(format => 0);

       Parse pattern.

   render
         my $path = $pattern->render({action => 'foo'});
         my $path = $pattern->render({action => 'foo'}, 1);

       Render pattern into a path with parameters, format rendering is disabled by default.
