I won't be able to check this immediately since I don't have root.
But will be able eventually.
See below about screw up...

My screwup Dan, I was messing with those files and renamed them
before finishing my post. Then edited my post to reflect the new
names. I missed editing what comes after the -> but it is in fact
scr_filename.cgi
ls -l [ls][ic]*
lrwxrwxrwx [...] link.cgi -> /home/reader/public_html/scr_filename.cgi
-rwxr-xr-x [...] scr_filename.cgi
Sorry for the miss-information. Looks like Pete and your speculations
about apache settings may be the right answer.

That puzzled me to at one time. When I noticed they didn't need to
be there a few days ago.
Try hitting www.jtan.com/~reader/scr_filename.cgi they are missing
there:
Cat src_filename.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "SCRIPT_FILENAME = $ENV{SCRIPT_FILENAME}";
I did try inserting them just for good measure. scr_filename.cgi
still works but still no go at link.cgi
