gitweb fails with pathinfo and project with ++ in the name

Hi all,

please have a look at http://git.madduck.net/v/code/libfactory++.git or http://git.madduck.net/v/code/libfactory%2b%2b.git.

I narrowed this down to the first line of CGI.pm's path_info sub:

  my ($self,$info) = self_or_default(@_);

but then my perl-foo wouldn't take me further.

gitweb works fine if I turn off pathinfo, but when it's turned on, it cannot deal with two ++ in the name of projects.

The bug seems to be in CGI.pm, and I now wonder what to do about it.

Please keep the bug address <476076@bugs.debian.org> in Cc.
