I agree with Dave. Some specific CGI-BIN's may be prone to attacks.
But that is not a reason not to use CGI-BIN's. Please provide solid
references (not rumors) supporting your statement.

Many people use languages other than PHP to communicate with MySQL - and
believe it or not, those people are running under Apache. They use
languages such as Perl or Python, for instance.

And believe it or not, there are actually people using C/C++ with Apache
to do cpu-intensive work.
