It doesn't have to be called cgi-bin - though that is the normal name for
the script directory.
The Virtual Directory has to have the name that you are going to access via,
as in:

That was great. Just a couple points, the directory can be called cgi-bin but
doesn't need to be. I made the same changes to one called 'store' tonight on
NT4 and it works.
Secondly for security reasons I've heard it generally recom
