So in a App::C::Admin::Users, a controller for dealing with Users:

    sub index : Private {
        [show a list of users]
    }

And then this request shows a list of users.

    /admin/users

Doesn't take arguments in that you can't do:

    sub index : Private {
        my ($self, $c, @args ) = @_;
    }

You can do that with default, but @args is the full path from root,
regardless of which controller default is in.


So if it doesn't take a list of arguments does that mean:

    /admin/users/12

can't be then used show user number 12?

And if later I defined in:

    package App::C::Admin;

    sub users : Local {}

that will then override App::C::Admin::Users::index?

It's still pre-coffee time for me, but how is index different from how
default works?
