The web server will find the executable file, and the rest of the URL (up
to but not including a "?") is stored into an environment variable called
PATH_INFO.  If there is a "?" in the URL, anything after that is put into
an environment variable called QUERY_STRING. 

For example, for:
   http://localhost/cgi-bin/ch-frames/order/order-frames?ABCDEFG;;192

SCRIPT_URI   = http://localhost/cgi-bin/ch-frames
PATH_INFO    = /order/order-frames
QUERY_STRING = ABCDEFG;;192
