[Catalyst] Help System - Can a controller's index capture the remainder of the path as a series of arguments?

[Kyle Hall]

Thanks to Bill and David the info. I'm still learning how to use
Catalyst, it's almost overwhelming when compared to CakePHP ( which is
what I started with as my first framework ) here is what I've got:

My button: <a href="[% c.uri_for('/help', c.action ) %]"
class="button" id="menu-help">Help</a>

My Help controller:
sub index : Chained('/') PathPart('help') Args {
    my ( $self, $c, @path ) = @_;

    my $path = join('/', @path);

    $c->stash->{template} = "help/$path.tt";
}

Seems to work fine. Any suggestions for improvements?
