ok, can you hack C::Engine::FastCGI, and use data::dumper or something  
to dump what %ENV contains when things are getting it wrong, and also  
get the debug dump screen's dumped Catalyst::Request object?

That's enough info to be able to work out what's being presented to  
Catalyst by FCGI, and what Catalyst is doing with it..

And should allow someone to write a failing test case (like this: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/Catalyst-Runtime/5.80/trunk/t/aggregate/unit_core_engine_cgi-prepare_path.t) 
, which we can then fix..

If you fancy jumping directly to patching that test right there to  
check your scenario, that'd be even better :)

Please feel free to appear in #catalyst-dev and pester people by  
nopasteing dumps, failing tests etc and someone will hand you a commit  
bit.

Apologies, at a guess this is further fallout from the changes to be  
able to correctly deal with uri encoded slashes in the request in  
5.80015 :(
