AFAICR, you can't do this on a global basis for all users, but you could
uncomment these lines in httpd.conf ...
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
... to enable out-of-cgi-bin-directory CGI execution for scripts with a .cgi
extension. Or attempt to use ScriptAlias in a .htaccess in all public_html
directories ...
You might find cgiwrap is more usable and secure for enabling CGI in
userspace
