I have an existing Perl app that I'm moving to a Webfaction website. I will be adding Django apps to this Webfaction website too.

I would like the Django app to get first call and so would want its URL path to be /

This would allow me to add any new URLs to the urls.py I wish as my app grows.

If the URL doesn't match anything in the urls.py I would like it to get passed to the static Perl app.

For example

/app1 -> Django
/app2 -> Django

Everything else not picked up by urls.py I would want going to my Perl app

For example:

/index.html -> Static/Perl app
/about.html -> Static/Perl app
/contact.html -> Static/Perl app
/apps/perlapp1.cgi -> Static/Perl app

etc

How do I go about achieving this in Webfaction?
