[Gllug] /usr/bin/env and the web server user account

[gvim]

I've read that:

/usr/bin/env perl

.... rather than:

/usr/bin/perl

.... is the way to go as it solves portability problems but it seems to introduce new problems. If my perl script is running as a CGI the owner of that process will be the owner of the web server process, typically 'www' or 'apache'. Since these system user accounts are non-login $PATH is non-configurable, defeating the purpose of /usr/bin/env, surely?
