Puzzle about directories


I have a file under an embperl directory called news.html

http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/nylinux/news.html

There is no news directory, nut this shows the same page
http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/nylinux/news/
As does 
http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/nylinux/news/ta

Is this an embperl thing?

No, that's done by Apache and it's a standart CGI behaviour. If there is no
news directory, you get the content as when you request

http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/nylinux/

and

news or news/ta or whatever follows will be in $ENV{PATH_INFO} or
$req_rec -> path_info
