You're right.  Cobalt's directory structure is
/home/sites/www.domain.com/web/youpickthedirectory

Whatever directory of the form I describe above where you want it installed as long
as it's in a subdirectory of your site's "web" directory.  Most people would use
/home/sites/www.domain.com/web/cgi-bin or
/home/sites/www.domain.com/web/cgi-bin/wwwcount.

I had in September of 1999 on a RaQ2.  It worked, but I'm no longer running it and I
don't have any notes.
