To the extent that the usefullness + is to show how to implement a CGI in these particular languages, I believe + that the httpd distribution and documentation in general is not the + place for that. Historically these types of scripts have caused problems + for downstream vendorsas well as newbies (and sometimes the intersection + of those two groups) who don't understand that these are information leaks + once they are enabled, and the subtlety of the way they are disabled ("Apache + messed up the first line; let me fix that") contributes to that.
