That's straight out of the example.
http://search.cpan.org/~hkclark/Catalyst-Manual-5.8001/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Tutorial/04_BasicCRUD.pod#___top

If I remove the square brackets it no longer links as ARRAY (I should
have mentioned this before), but the action_for() returns empty.  So a
link now appears as:

http://localhost:3000/books/8

Which of course renders a "Page not found" error.
