CGI programs can be written in a compiled language, so /usr/share is wrong. I'm not keen on the Debian location, but it's fairly easy to ignore: I don't see much reason to run a webserver with anything like a vendor's configuration anyway. I _might_ use it as a default server, and litter it with traps for Code Red and such. -- Cheers John.
