Thank you for your patch! Unfortunately it will not make it to trunk.

This can be solved by configuring Apache to handle CGI scripts without 
extension, or by using ScriptAlias directive. If this is not possible 
you can still do it your CGI script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

BEGIN { $ENV{CATALYST_ENGINE} = 'CGI' }

use strict;
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";
use MyApp;

$ENV{PATH_INFO} = $ENV{REQUEST_URI};

MyApp->run;

1;
