Because override is a file which exists, dhandler is not called. Instead,
override is called, and the rest of the url path is in the PATH_INFO env
variable. This is a useful effect sometimes.

"/foo" is still in PATH_INFO. You could try doing:
my $extra_path = $m->dhandler_arg().$ENV{PATH_INFO};

Apache is involved in the PATH_INFO stuff. If you really don't want that
to ever happen, you could try using a <Location> configuration in your
httpd.conf. That happens before apache looks at the files, so it might
prevent the PATH_INFO thing from happening, but I have not rigorously
tested it.
