The key word is 'your'. Most apaches I deal with I not mine. I have my
public_html with +ExecCGI, and that's it. Some Apaches I deal with are
built without DSO support. Some servers I deal with do not even run
Apache.

mod_(perl|python|php|lisp) is a hack. With Python, Perl and PHP there
is an excuse for the hack: those programs are deadly slow to start.
With Lisp and memory images, when the startup time is hundredths of
seconds, there is no need for mod_lisp.
