Just make sure you don't have "ExecCGI" in your other directory definitions and it will only execute CGI from your cgi-bin.

thats not the default in my apache. my default is:

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
        AllowOverride None
        Options None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

should i change the "none" to "ExecCGI"?

Hmm, interesting. It appears that you only need ExecCGI if the directory in question is not a "ScriptAlias" directory. All files (regardless of thier extension) are treated as executable if they are in a ScriptAlias directory. It's interesting that my Apache 2.x server (and all of my other servers) have the ExecCGI set even though they are also are defined via ScriptAlias, I think that's a RedHat default because I don't remember setting any of them that way. Here a FAQ:
