Well, specifically I am trying to get HTML::Mason to fully support Apache2,
and this behavior is apparently different from Apache1.  This particular test
is running Mason as a CGI script, and we are relying on Apache to send *all*
requests for a configured location to the script.

With a tweak to CGIHandler.cgi to use both SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO,
The ScriptAlias method works.  Thanks!
