[cgiapp] CGI::Application::Dispatch Question

[Brad Van Sickle]

It appears that Dispatch.pm is never getting a value for $ENV{PATH_INFO}

Printing out my environment hash, I can see that PATH_INFO is not 
available as an option, however I do have a REQUEST_URI option that 
looks like it might work. 

in my dispatch handler I  attempted to set the PATH_INFO key with the 
contents of REQUEST_URI:
$ENV{PATH_INFO} = $ENV{REQUEST_URI};

However, it still seems like Dispatch.pm was unable to get a value.  
After a little reverse engineering I found that $ENV_PATH info was being 
overwritten by a mod_perl method inside Dispatch.pm:

   # set the PATH_INFO
   $ENV{PATH_INFO} = $r->path_info();

I simply commented out this line id Dispatch.pm and it seems to be 
working now, however I suspect that this is not the "best" solution.  
Are there any suggestions on a better way to handle this?
