Well, that depends entirely on what the current Apache configuration
allows you to do. If it's set up not to allow execution of CGI programs
from anywhere but the designated cgi-bin, and overrides are disabled,
you may be out of luck - especially if the admin won't cooperate with
you. However, as FAQ 5.19 mentions, on many systems you can designate
a file outside of the cgi-bin directory as a CGI program simply by
making it executable and adding on the suffix ".cgi". That's worth
a try. Sometimes, this isn't enabled by default, but you're allowed to
override the default by putting an "Options +ExecCGI" directive and/or
an "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" directive in a .htaccess file in the
directory where you install htsearch.cgi. Failing that, though, I think
you'll need to get the admin to set up a ScriptAlias'ed directory for you,
or enable execution.
