Not sure if you mean any CGI apps be written as Apache modules (which are
typically written in C and compiled into Apache, or as DSO *.so files), or
if you mean the scripting language's interpreter be a module (as in mod_php
or mod_perl, as opposed to a CGI version of php or perl typically placed in
/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin).  Assuming you meant the latter.

I think Perl and PHP have some ISAPI interface (if that's the right thing).
It's been a long time since I played with IIS.  But I think the performance
is severely degraded on IIS, not to mention all the vulnerabilities, etc.
which may have nothing to due with the Perl or PHP modules, but with
libraries they're compiled against for use in windows (i.e. dependent on
potentially vulnerable code).  But that said, even if it's a Linux or
FreeBSD server, it's only as secure as sysadmin makes it with the updated
software and proper configs.
