Just so you know, your path should be:

http://server_name/~username/cgi-bin/file.cgi

or presuming things:
http://www.efn.org/~ben/cgi-bin/bens_file.cgi

You probably have a public_html directory and a public_html/cgi-bin
directory under your home directory.  If so, the above urls will get you
there.  These are the defaults for apache.

If you try:

http://www.efn.org/cgi-bin/bens_file.cgi

Then you are trying to access a cgi script installed in the server's
script directory.  That is, not in a user's directory.
