If I dump %env right after

while ( $request->Accept >= 0 ) {

it shows that $env{REQUEST_URI} contains the original request path, and not the one re-written by Apache. If I manually alter it at that point (e.g. $env{REQUEST_URI} = "/foo/bar" . $env{REQUEST_URI}) it does what I want it to. So it looks like my problem is likely related to FCGI.pm or apache not doing what I would have naively expected them to do.

Guess I'll go poke around in FCGI.pm and see what it is getting from Apache.

Thanks for the pointer!
