The 'cgi-bin' is a protected folder name and will always point to the cgi-bin in the root of the webspace. Any other folder called 'cgi-bin' will not be found. Either place the script into the cgi-bin in the root of the webspace or change the name of the folder you've created and adjust the code accordingly.
I've created a cgi-bin inside my public_html folder, placed my script into it and yet it can't be found. Why?
