To find all PHP scripts under /home (assuming they all use .php as the 
filename extension):


# find /home -name "*.php"


Perl might be a bit trickier - some people might be using .pl or .cgi. 
If all your users have a separate cgi-bin folder then it should be easy 
to write a script to iterate through all the cgi-bins and run a find 
command on each:

find /home/$username/cgi-bin -exec grep -l /usr/bin/perl {} \;

(assuming they have something like "#!/usr/bin/perl" at the top of their 
CGI scripts.


There's many ways to skin this cat.
