If you are getting 404 errors, then this can not be the fault of
CGI::Application.  Because a 404 means that the file or script in
question could not be found by the server.

So your problem is definately with IIS.  Unfortunately I have
absolutely no experience using IIS.  But from the description you
give, IIS does not understand how to process the path info, and is
taking the entire URL as the script name (which obviously doesn't
exists, hence the 404 error).

You will either have to find an IIS expert that knows about
configuring path info on IIS, or hope that someone else on the list
uses and knows about this stuff.

Cheers,

Cees
