Taing:
I use php3 to do my apps for web applications and chown the /www/ files to
www.www and chmod them to 0750 with the server running as user www.
This prevents any users from viewing the source code: i.e. the /www/ files that
contain your perl scripts. This might be an option for you if the perl user can
run as www.www and you can run those perl scripts as user www within the web
context.
This is just how I do it, but, others might have different implementations.
Best Regards,
Van
