AFAIK, you don't have to.
You just say something like:

PerlModule MyApp
<Location /application>
	SetHandler perl-script
	PerlResponseHandler MyApp
</Location>

and everything Just Works (TM).

The only thing you must be careful with are redirects, form atcions, etc.
With Catalyst 5.33 I prepend [% base %] to every href I write in the 
templates ($c->req->base in the code).

For example, instead of
<a href="/products/do_edit">Apply</a>
I write
<a href="[% base %]products/do_edit">Apply</a>

Also, instead of writing
$c->res->redirect('/products/list');
I wite
$c->res->redirect( $c->req->base . 'products/list' );

I belive the $c->uri_for method in the newer releases is meant to avoid 
repeating 'base' everywhere.
