Having another web site in mod_perl doesn't automatically mean you can't
run backuppc in the same httpd instance and under the same user id, but
you need to evaluate the security of the other code and consider any
other users that have permission to change it.
Personally I use the suid cgi and find it fast enough. It only affects
the speed of loading web pages and it is still fairly fast.
