peruser doesn't mean what you think it means.   The idea behind peruser
is that you can specify specific directory paths that should be executed
under the permissions of a particular user that the child process is
started as.

The fundamental problem is that there is no notion in the web world of
per request credentials that are not a password.   Everyone seems to be
quite happy either passing around passwords to back end services or to
allow the operations to be conducted under a super user account and
trust the web server to do the right thing.
