Mac OS X uses the Apache Web server. Its configuration file is in / 
etc/httpd/httpd.conf. According to that configuration file, CGI  
executables can live in the following two locations:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/"

The second is the system-wide directory for CGIs. This is for CGIs  
that everyone on the system can use. The first says that if you put a  
cgi-bin directory into your Sites directory, then the CGIs will also  
work from there.
