I suggest the following:

     1.   Cgi-bin executable files are installed in the directory
               /usr/lib/cgi-bin
          or a subdirectory of that directory, and the script
               /usr/lib/cgi-bin/.../<cgi-bin-name>
          should be referred to as
               http://localhost/cgi-bin/.../<cgi-bin-name>
