Perl/CGI issues

I was just wondering if anyone can recommend any good techniques for 'locking down' perl/cgi holes .. limit the functionality/extent to which cgi/perl scripts can be used to cause havoc, read other people's files etc.

I mean for php there's the ability to turn off all the commands that are potentially dangerous in the hands of hackers, use open_basedir directive, safemode etc

is there absolutely nothing that can be done for cgi/perl? I'd love to hear what some of you have done to create a much more secure cgi/perl environment.

Since I use Cpanel on my box it would be nice if compatibility with cpanel could also be confirmed if possible for the methods used to lock down cgi Thanks
