But neither of these is of any use with mod_perl.

I hate to post this here because it's clearly the wrong forum, but I
haven't been able to find adequate documentation elsewhere on suEXEC.

I'd like our users to be able to create CGI scripts in a public_cgi
directory beneath their home directory and have the server execute those,
as the owner, automatically.  

Has anyone done this or does anyone have pointers to an example of this?
There's plenty of dire warnings against end-user CGI, but we don't have a
choice in this environment.  I'm looking for a, "you ignored our warnings
and went ahead and did something stupid, now here's an example to make it
work," kind of thing.

Thanks!
