Sounds like a reasonable conclusion.

I recon so.

Yes, please do :)

There are tests for what the _fix_env stuff is doing for IIS already  
here:

http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/Catalyst-Runtime/5.80/trunk/t/aggregate/unit_core_engine_fixenv-iis6.t

More tests like this (failing) would be a great start, and there  
really should be some tests like this:

http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/Catalyst-Runtime/5.80/trunk/t/aggregate/unit_core_engine_cgi-prepare_path.t

for these FastCGI cases also (as that would test that Catalyst is  
doing the right thing all the way through, not just that the mangling  
was working.

If you fancy starting by grabbing the environment you're getting and  
writing failing test cases that'd be _brilliant_ :_)

Feel free to mail them to the list, or come pester someone in  
#catalyst-dev for a commit bit so you can add them directly yourself.

Thanks in advance.
