A word of warning:  drizzle's tech people don't entirely know what 
they're doing.  E.g. they've set up their site so that users' CGI 
scripts run with the same UID as the web server(!), *not* as the user 
who owns the account.  Not only that, but when I called up to 
complain, it took me rather a long time to explain to their Unix 
"guru" why this as a Bad Thing.

They set up this really annoying kludge just for my account (all my 
scripts have to be called via a URL like 
http://www.mydomain.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/myusername/myscript.cgi ), 
but AFAIK everyone else's CGIs are still running as the web server.
