First, and foremost - check the Apache error log, and make sure it's looking 
where you expect it to. You might find a line saying "File not found: 
/usr/some/where/you/didnot/expect/cgi-bin" ... next, check the permissions of 
the sub-dir you created in cgi-bin, and lastly, the permissions of the cgi-bin 
itself, both should be world read/executable.
