On our server the CGI BIN is actually the folder /cgi/. Simply create this folder and upload your .cgi or .pl files, and you will be able to use them. Remember to set the Execute permissions for all cgi files, or they will not run. Also, all text files have to be uploaded in ASCII mode, and this includes CGI files also.
