 Why the second request with the extra path?

because in this case you have path_info data, when %ENV is populated,
ap_add_cgi_vars() calls ap_sub_req_lookup_uri() to resolve
PATH_TRANSLATED.

notice you won't see it with:
PerlSetupEnv Off

Why double requests?

Here's my httpd.conf:
-

perl
package My::DirectoryIndex;
use Apache::Constants qw( DECLINED );

sub handler {
my $r = shift;

$r-log_error(

. $r-uri );


return DECLINED;
}

package My::Hello;
use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw( OK );
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
$r-send_http_header('text/plain');
$r-print('hello');
return OK;

Why the second request with the extra path?

This doesn't generate a second request:
GET /hello/abc/123 http/1.0

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
