Path info is path-like data that directly follows the name of the 
resource being referenced, e.g.: /myfiles/foo.html/this/is/path/info

A rule that would give you path info in the case you describe would be 
more like this:

   RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /hackTest/$1 [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]

Whether that works depends on how /hackTest is being dispatched, but if 
Hack expects pathinfo, then it may just work.
