Slightly OT, but (further derby's comment), here's a side consideration for you, monkfan
The reason 1.x Apache versions conventionally put the cgi-bin in the directory above htdocs is for your protection. While not a v2.x user, I suspect this is still true, unless there's a new security mechanism. If your cgi-bin(s) are in or below htdocs, the contents are accessible to those with evil intent... in many cases, even if you attempt to restrict access with the usual methods such as .htaccess. This is not a-good-thing if your scripts have sensitive content, as many (perhaps not yours, but many) do. IMO, the usual "good" reason for creating a cgi-bin in user-space is when you don't have the necessary rights to put your scripts in the site's root (note: "site," not "server.")
