Though it causes a bit of a performance penalty, a .htaccess file in a
protected directory will resolve that problem.

I'm actually more concerned about scripting directives.  In 
particular, things like:

     <FilesMatch ".*\.epl$">
         Options ExecCgi
         AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options
         SetHandler      perl-script
         PerlHandler     HTML::Embperl
     </FilesMatch>

I assume that if someone goes to
        foo.ePl
they are going to get the raw source code, and that is, needless to 
say, a potentially huge security risk.  (Yes, people *ought* to put 
their secure information in libraries outside of the web tree, 
but....)

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
