There are some known issues with the "index" special action name in Root
controllers, but they've been difficult to track down, and are specific to
the engine you're running (test server vs mod_perl vs fastcgi, etc).

For me, the best workaround has been to replace

sub index : Private { ... }

with:

sub _index : Path('/') { ... }
