If you'd think about it a minute, you would realize that the / has nothing to
do with it since it's the server (Apache) that is creating the path from a
URL. Leigh has no control over how the path is specified since he has to
supply something like '/cgi-bin/subscribe.cgi' as a URL. Apache is quite
capable of creating a new process and getting the /s correct. Even if \s are
used internally to create the process, they don't have to be used in the error
message above.
PS: Make sure that .cgi is supported in your conf (AddHandler directive) and
make sure your shebang and scriptalias are correct.
