Hello, is it good idea to disable perl this way for cpanel users? edit httpd.conf and comment out line: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl Im thinking about this in context of people adding malicious .pl scripts into server /tmp directory. Thank you

  It likely will not fix your problem. When scripts are run from /tmp they are often launched from php shells in which case Apache does not have to serve the file. The AddHandler only determines how apache handles the file if someone browses to a URL where it is hosted.
