[cgiwrap-users] Errors: path_info & path_translated ???

[Michael D. S. <mds...@me...>]

I am having problems with CGI.pm on a webserver.  path_info() and
path_translated() do *not* ``Return[s] additional path information ...''
separate from the calling CGI ?!?!

uname -a
        Linux dante.tera-byte.com 2.2.14C11 #2 Wed Jun 28 00:55:51 PDT
2000 i586 unknown

perl -v
        ... This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux ...

perl -MCGI -e 'print "CGI.pm version $CGI::VERSION\n";'
        CGI.pm version 2.56

Calling this:
        http://www.myweb.com/tmp/test.cgi/tmp/pictures

Results in this output:

_x_/home/sites/site99/web/tmp/test.cgi_x_ 

_x_/tmp/test.cgi/tmp/pictures_x_


For this cgi:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header,
        start_html;
print '_x_', path_translated(), '_x_', "\n";
print p;
print '_x_', path_info(), '_x_', "\n";
print end_html;
exit 0;


As you know, both path_info and path_translated should point to the
additional path info: /tmp/pictures; rather than the calling CGI.

Here is my CGI environment:
