Even more convoluted is when a user can ExecCGI, but only via suexec.
mod_perl would get around the suexec protections. Especially on student web
servers where there are (potentially) 60,000 people wanting to put up web
pages with CGI. Thankfully, not all the users want to do this. But the issue
is still there. If someone has mod_perl access, they have access to
everything the server can access.
