Ok, so is that a bug?  Or am I not understanding the docs?

    # Regex

        sub bar : Regex('^item(\d+)/order(\d+)$') { }

    Matches any URL that matches the pattern in the action key, e.g.
    http://localhost:3000/item23/order42. The '' around the regexp is
    optional, but perltidy likes it. :)

So it seems that would also match:

    http://localhost:3000/item23/order42/something.else

but the "$" would indicate to me that it much only match the shorter
string.
