I was just talking about this with my co-workers. Here's one way: Set up a front-end apache with mod_proxy. Have it proxy all requests for /~user (or whatever) to an unprivileged port assigned to that user (or a name-based virtual host). Give each user their own mod_perl on that port/host that they can do what they want with, since it runs as an unprivileged user (themselves). However, it's quite possible that this is more trouble and less value than the virtual server setups people are selling these days. - Perrin
