At this point I do have that uncommented and I've gotten a little
further toward my goal.

I can now fire a cgi anywhere under $public_html and at 
  /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin.

But still nothing outside of /var/../cgi-bin/ will fire.

The directory settings look like 
  (some of it may be a bit overdone):

<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs>
    Options All MultiViews Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi 
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi is also enabled outside that directory
setting.

Still cgi outside of /var/../cgi-bin/ under htdocs/ will not fire but
instead just display as a file.

the apache error_log says:
Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/exp/test.cgi, referer: http://reader.local.lan/exp/

But /var/www/localhost/htdocs should include any subdirectories right.

In httpd.conf is says:
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories). 
#

Adding that directory specifally (..htdocs/exp) in another `Directory'
statement does make cgi work there but that shuold just happen with
the above Directory statement right?
