from the CGI module
path_info()
Returns additional path information from the script URL. E.G.
fetching /cgi-bin/your_script/additional/stuff will result in
$query->path_info() returning "/additional/stuff".
path_translated()
As per path_info() but returns the additional path information
translated into a physical path, e.g.
"/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/additional/stuff".
What you'll want to do is make sure "OptionExec CGI" is turned on for the
directory you need and have apache call your cgi script, either via a 404 or
you can include your perl script in your default document types that apache
will attempt to grab.
If you're using a service that only allows .shtml files to include stuff then
in that file, call your cgi script from index.shtml from whatever directory
you would like to make your root.
