You look like you have an Apache issue. Specifically the script alias directives in httpd.conf need work. Around line 475 (very roughly but it is a long way into the file) of httpd.conf (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) you will find (well you can't cause you gotta be root but anyway) 

# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to th
+e client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as
+ to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/httpd/cgi-bin/"

# you need a ScriptAlias for your subdir(s) like this
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/subdir/ "var/httpd/cgi-bin/subdir/"

There is a workaround using AddHandler but it is very insecure as it will allow anything that ends in .pl or .cgi or whatever you set to be executed - regardless of where it is in the dir structure so I'm not going to show you how.

As an aside Apache 1.23 has some significant security issues. Your ISP should go to 1.27
