These > are definitely intended for production servers. > i'd also preffer to have both versions - on all of my production servers i do install both apache module and cgi version. the latter i use for cron jobs, background processing and whatsoever tasks that need to do something outside the web. so in my opinion both sapi module and cgi will be a fine default. one more 'little' binary in /usr/local/bin would harm noone. also some isp configurations with several sapi setups on the same machine would benefit easier maintenance with this option. of course a way to disable it is ok but since PEAR needs the cgi ver to be able to fetch modules and etc the default should be 'enabled'. b.
