This sounds like a hack job for Carp.. I assume you mean uid of the
cgi-wrapped user?

Erm.. I'm not sure how you're going to verify the uid of a remote user,
unless you mean mapping an IP to each cgi-wrapped UID.
Either way, you've got a lot of moving targets. I might hijack the custom
error page handler in Apache and send a default error page unless the
remote user is somehow authenticated.. But I don't think remote uid or IP
are gonna be reliable.
