    I'm actually more concerned about scripting directives.  In 
    particular, things like:
    
         <FilesMatch ".*\.epl$">
             Options ExecCgi
             AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options
             SetHandler      perl-script
             PerlHandler     HTML::Embperl
         </FilesMatch>
    
    I assume that if someone goes to
    	foo.ePl
    they are going to get the raw source code, and that is, needless to 
    say, a potentially huge security risk.  (Yes, people *ought* to put 
    their secure information in libraries outside of the web tree, 
    but....)

    I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
    responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
    everyone else's.
