+We are using C<sub base :Path :Args(0) {...}> here to specifically match 
+the URL C</login>.  C<Path> actions (aka, "literal actions") create URI 
+matches relative to the namespace of the controller where they are defined.  
+Although C<Path> supports arguments that allow relative and absolute paths 
+to be defined, here we use an empty C<Path> definition to match on just the 
+name of the controller itself.  The method name, C<base>, is arbitrary.  
+We make the match even more specific with the C<:Args(0)> action modifier 
+-- this forces the match on I<only> C</login>, not C</login/somethingelse>.
+
+Note that we could have used something like C<sub default :Private>; 
+however, the use of C<default> actions is discouraged because it does
+not receive path args as with other actions.  The recommended practice 
+is to only use C<default> in C<MyApp::Controller::Root>.
