That's incorrect, according to the standard.  PATH_TRANSLATED is the 
PATH_INFO translated.  PATH_INFO is the *extra* info added to the end of 
a URL after the program name.

What you likely want it SCRIPT_FILENAME.


See:

You could try this on IIS:

moseley@bumby:~/apache$ cat test.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl 
print "content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "$_ : $ENV{$_}\n" for sort keys %ENV;

moseley(at)not-real.bumby:~/apache$ GET http://localhost/apache/test.cgi | egrep '(PATH_|SCRIPT_FILENAME)'
SCRIPT_FILENAME : /var/www/apache/test.cgi

moseley(at)not-real.bumby:~/apache$ GET http://localhost/apache/test.cgi/ | egrep '(PATH_|SCRIPT_FILENAME)'
PATH_INFO : /
PATH_TRANSLATED : /var/www/
SCRIPT_FILENAME : /var/www/apache/test.cgi

moseley(at)not-real.bumby:~/apache$ GET http://localhost/apache/test.cgi/extra/path | egrep '(PATH_|SCRIPT_FILENAME)'
PATH_INFO : /extra/path
PATH_TRANSLATED : /var/www/extra/path
SCRIPT_FILENAME : /var/www/apache/test.cgi

Can you report back what IIS returns?
