If you don't mind most CGI scripts running as whichever user Apache runs 
as (IIRC you're on Debian - so www-data), you should be fine.

I've run into similar troubles trying to run some webscripting myself; 
the difference was I *wanted* to run as the webserver user instead of my 
own account.  <g>  (Among other issues.)
