Yes, he could have used default(), but not index() to handle the root  
itself!

     sub index   : Private { $_[1]->stash->{template} =  
'welcome.tt' }   # Handles only / (no args)

     sub default : Private { $_[1]->stash->{template} =  
'404.tt' }       # Handles all 404s


Path('/') is more a dwim thing, no unique feature.
