I DO NOT need cgi or my cgi-bin, however due to some indexed .cgi
files in the cgi-bin indexed on a search engine.

My question: Can I build a PHP file, name it something.cgi, place it
in a directory named cgi-bin and have the Apache/PHP/Module process
the file just as it does .php and .php4 files?

I know how to tell the module to process various extensions, can i
specify .cgi or .pl and would this be a problem? How can I make the
cgi-bin directory just like any other directory in my /www folder?

Thanks for all your help!
