Base URI breakdown

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.

Could you not use $c->req->uri [1]?

$c->req->base is a URI object under all of the Engine types that I'm aware of.
The docs don't promise this, but they don't say it's not either. Anyway
there's no reason you couldn't do URI->new($c->req->base) which will be a
perfectly good URI object whether base is a URI or an unblessed string. :)

Next time I should just try things before assuming the docs are absolute. ^_^

Sounds good to me. Thanks!
