running CGIs as authenticated user?

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to Apache config. I'd like to be able to run CGIs as
the authenticated user. I've found suexec, which would work if CGIs
are in user directories, but I'd like to maintain one central CGI
directory (for example, /cgi-bin/) Has anyone had success with a
similar configuration? Any authentication would be ok as long as we
can get the CGI's to run on a per-user basis.

Thanks for any advice!
