If you need it, there's no problem removing it

If you don't need it, may I ask why you would?

Hi-
I was wondering if there is a problem taking out the URLscan directive
"Don't allow multiple CGI processes to run on a single request". It
filters out & (or "%26"). If perl is not installed on the server and we're
not using (or planning to use) CGI would there be any risks in removing
this?

Thanks

Probably not. But what issues are you facing that would require its
removal? And when you leave the company and the next admin takes over
and installs Perl, are you planning on leaving a note that you did
this? :)
