Don't think you should outside of development anyhow. Better handled by 
your front end web server, which is what you are doing and what 
Static::Simple is [simply] there to emulate.

So hence the point in the example code of the sub end : Private {}
It's an override. As the Catalyst dispatch mechanism will call the most 
local 'end' method, as in the one in the current controller.
So what you do is isolate these 'streamed' responses in their own 
controller.

And hence yes. All in the documentation to Catalyst::Response, thus 
$c->response. Even $c->response->body is a way of bypassing the view. 
There is even $c->write.
