In order to get  the test-cgi script 
in cgi-bin to work, I had to modify the commonhttpd.conf <Directory /> 
setting to look like the 8.1 commonhttpd.conf settings:

<Directory />
#  Options -All -Multiviews
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
#  Order deny,allow
#  Deny from all 
</Directory>

Oh, and I had to do a "chmod 755  test-cgi" as well.

HTH,

Roger
