I'm not sure if it will work with <Directory> at all, but it may - I've never tried. a better approach for <Directory> containers is probably want to use just the Alias directive and place a SetHandler cgi-script directive within the <Directory>. that's about the only thing I can see that may be wrong off the top of my head. again, since this is just regular mod_cgi stuff, the Apache documentation site would be a good place to start for general apache setup tips.
