I'm in the same camp for the most part. I'll have a  
Controller::Article but have its chain root be "a" for the short URIs.

You can also then have C::Admin::Article which doesn't dispatch to / 
admin/article but chains from /a/[id]/edit /a/[id]/preview /a/[id]/ 
rev/[#] and so on. Then a single auto method (if the setup is that  
simplistic) in Admin.pm can check authn/authz for everything in it.
