Hi Tuomo, I don't mean 80,000 virtual hosts. I have over 80k unix accounts for which content is being served via mod_userdir. And I consider each one it's own "site". It's critical to the environment that users be prevented from specifying handlers in htaccess files in part exactly for the reasons you specified. The other issue is the potential for suexec abuse. I only have one perl access handler I need to use and it has no global variables.
