Comment (by Kirin_Lin):

 Because the $PATH_INFO is implemented by following CGI/1.1
 specification(http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html), that says:

 {{{
 The extra path information, as given by the client.
 In other words, scripts can be accessed by their virtual pathname,
 followed by extra information at the end of this path.
 The extra information is sent as PATH_INFO.
 This information should be decoded by the server if it comes from
 a URL before it is passed to the CGI script.
 }}}

 That's why...
