They don’t have. The only restriction is that CGI scripts have to be in deirectory which has
directive switched on, and in default Apache configuration only /cgi-bin directory has this option on. But nothing prevents you from enabling CGI in other directories.
Some believe that putting all CGI scripts in one place is more secure.
