path_info is one of those tricky things - it never seems to do what you
would expect it to, especially with nested configurations :)

path_info is a part of the request_rec structure and calculated by apache -
mod_perl merely makes the calculated value available to you.  so, whatever
difference you are seeing between mp1 and mp2 is really a difference in
apache 1.3 and apache 2.0 and there is not much mod_perl can do about it.
