Most of the time people put it up one directory..  so let's say with the
main site on your raq.. doc root is /home/sites/home/web/  .. make a
cgi-bin in /home/sites/home/ , and add a 'ScriptAlias' line in your
httpd.conf to point to the location like:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/sites/home/cgi-bin/"
in the virtualhost settings for that domain.
