Oh yes, it totally can. However, an actionrole can be applied totally  
by configuration...

sub foo : Local {
# Code
}

__PACKAGE__->config( actions => { foo => { Does => 'ACL',  
RequiresRole => 'admin', ACLDetachTo => 'denied' }} );

no changes to code actually required, as this can obviously come from  
config.. Fairly useful as the business folks seem never to be able to  
decide who can do what, so making it config makes their indecision  
cheaper to support. ;)
