Life is easy. CGIWrap and mod_rewirte are hard! ;)

Please read through the comments.

Here is what I did. I compiled CGIWrap myself like so:

it didn't work until I added this line the the configure call:

   --with-cgi-dir=.

Before it would not find the script, but when I put it in 
/dir/cgi-bin/cgi-bin/script.cgi but called /dir/cgi-bin/script.cgi it worked.

./configure --with-httpd-user=www-data \
   --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl \
   --with-php=/usr/bin/php-cgi \
   --with-php-interpreter \
   --with-cgi-dir=. \
   --without-check-symlink \
   --with-minimum-uid=1013 \
   --with-minimum-gid=1013 \
   --with-logging-file=/var/log/cgiwrap.log \
   --with-use-redirect-url \
   --with-use-script-url \
   --with-require-redirect-url \
   --with-env-require-user \
   --with-block-svn-paths \
   --with-block-cvs-paths \
   --with-cgiwrapd \
   --with-httpd-user=www-data \
   --with-install-dir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin

make

# make install doesn't work on my Debian Etch
/bin/cp -f cgiwrap /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiwrap
/bin/cp -f cgiwrap /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiwrapd
/bin/cp -f cgiwrap /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nph-cgiwrap
/bin/cp -f cgiwrap /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nph-cgiwrapd


Then in my config:

RewriteEngine On
# need this for seo purposes
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.$DOMAIN
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.$DOMAIN$1 [R=permanent,L]

# cgi-wrapper config
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /webs/$DOMAIN/cgi-bin
ScriptAlias /cgiwrapDir/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi .pl
cgi-wrapper /cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap/$USERID/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin/
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/(.*)   /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/$1 [PT]
# I wish I knew how to make the following work
# but I am not sure if I have to add more ScriptAlias/AddHandler directives
# following does not work
#RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin-d/(.*)\.(cgi|php|pl|rb) /cgi-bin/cgiwrapd/$1 [PT]
#RewriteRule ^/nph-bin/(.*)\.(cgi|php|pl|rb)   /cgi-bin/nph-cgiwrap/$1 [PT]
#RewriteRule ^/nph-bin-d/(.*)\.(cgi|php|pl|rb) /cgi-bin/nph-cgiwrapd/$1 [PT]
