I'm not sure why this isn't working for you. Here's an example of what I use
on the Cobalt in my "include.conf" file:
<VirtualHost 209.196.37.116>
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAdmin admin
DocumentRoot /home/sites/site3/web/name
ServerAlias domain.com
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
# Uncomment next 2 lines if you want to use SSI
#AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
#AddType    text/html     .shtml
</VirtualHost>

I believe, if you check the Apache docs, you can configure a scriptalias
directory in the srm.conf so that using /cgi-local/ would point to another
cgi-bin on the server.
