if you add .pl and goto http://yourfoswiki/bin/view.pl the parsing code will tell you it can't fine the Pl topic

will be a pretty trivial unit test to add and then fix - related to the other bug fix i did in this area, and the feature proposal Kenneth kindly made me smile

Foswiki core expects PATH_INFO to be something like /Web/Subweb/Topic. IIS adjusts it to /foswiki/bin/view.pl/Web/Subweb/Topic. Foswiki::Engine::CGI::preparePath() already handle this case:

    # SMELL: "The Microsoft Internet Information Server is broken with
    # respect to additional path information. If you use the Perl DLL
    # library, the IIS server will attempt to execute the additional
    # path information as a Perl script. If you use the ordinary file
    # associations mapping, the path information will be present in the
    # environment, but incorrect. The best thing to do is to avoid using
    # additional path information."

    # (...)

    my $cgiScriptPath = $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME};
    $pathInfo =~ s{$cgiScriptPath/}{/}i;

This workaround works to /foswiki/bin/view.pl/ but not to /foswiki/bin/view.pl (notice the trailing slash).

So this workaround should be improved.
