[Catalyst] help with :Path and config

I want to make an "admin" page available on a URL that's not called "admin", but is
something less obvious that people might guess. Even though it will have a password, it
will stop people from just trying to find it.
I thought to configure it using the normal config features:
use 5.10.1;
use utf8;
package LEDft::Controller::Admin;
use Moose;
use Method::Signatures::Simple;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN {extends 'Catalyst::Controller'; }
has url_name => (
is => 'ro',
required => 1,
);
method index($c) :Path($url_name) :Args(0) { }
However, the debug screen tells me that the Loaded Path action is "/admin/$url_name". Why
did it take the stuff in parens as a literal string, when I didn't use any kind of quotes
around it? An example in the manual is
sub bar : Path('foo/bar') { }
which shows that it is quoted normally: not :Path(foo/bar).
