I see this change didn't make it into v2. I'd like to rerequest it and
here it is as a patch:
@@ -20,6 +20,7 @@
$self->{path} = $self->{cgi}->url( -absolute => 1, -path_info => 1 );
my $loc = $self->{cgi}->url( -absolute => 1 );
no warnings 'uninitialized';
+ $self->{path} .= '/' if $self->{path} eq $loc;
$self->{path} =~ s/^($loc)?\///;
$self->parse_path;
$self->parse_args;
Cheers, Dave

Subject: [Maypole] CGI::Maypole default page handling
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 16:09:49 +0100
From: Dave Howorth <dhoworth at mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk>
When using a system based on CGI::Maypole, if a user types:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/beer.cgi/
they see the frontpage of the database. But if they type
http://localhost/cgi-bin/beer.cgi
they see something like "Internal Server Error".
It seems unreasonable to penalise the user so hard for leaving off a
slash, so I've added a line to CGI::Maypole::parse_location():
$self->{path} .= '/' if $self->{path} eq $loc;
I added this just after the "no warnings" line and it works for me. Can
anybody see a problem? If not, I'd like to propose it for the next version.
Cheers, Dave
