path to cgi-bin

i'm trying to get an open source application, uber upload, working. it needs to be configured with lots of paths. my config gets so far but fails when submitting the form that has the a file name to be uploaded. (in firefox it gives the firefox msg:

'Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol © isn't associated with any programs'- readings indicate this is likely a path problem)

it eventually invokes a perl script. which makes me wonder about the path to the cgi-bin. i have coded it as 'c:/apache2/cgi-bin/ubr_upload.pl', because the path is set in variables in ini files.

but since i can't run any scripts directly out of the cgi-bin from the browser, only from a 'domain' based path, eg. http://domainName.com/someCgiEnabledDir/script.cgi, i'm not sure if the paths need to specified with a domain name. but that would mean i would always need a cgi-bin directory somewhere under the DocumentRoot and can't use the apache default cgi-bin?
