Perhaps with an appropriately captive or ignorance audience, otherwise 
they will just go somewhere else. This will cause apparently random 
effects, as you've already experienced. 

Remember to mount /tmp, /var/tmp and if you have tetex installed
/var/spool/tekmf/*  the same way, or it also doesn't solve much.
Additionally, with perl available there is very little you can't do. 
The user just has to alias all perl scripts.

nosuid is probably a better mount option.
