A dispatch table doesn't replace the PATH_INFO parsing. It just customizes it
further. If there is no PATH_INFO, how can a request be dispatched? We can't use
the full URL since different portions may be mapped to different locations of
the web server.

The PATH_INFO is the portion of the URL leftover after the server has decided
how it should serve the request. Every webserver that I know of set's PATH_INFO
even if it's set to an empty string.

Are you running this under a webserver or the command line?
