Re: apache php perl

[eirik dentz <eirikdentz@brainlink.com>]

One way that I've seen it done is to recompile apache w/suexec 
directory to one above all the user cgi-bin directories. Then a copy of 
the php-cgi binary is put into each user's cgi-bin.

I'm seem to remember some other solutions to this issue, since it seems 
to come up every now and then.

should turn up other discussions, on this and other mailing lists.
