Below is the reply I received from my hosting company :-

I understand you are inquiring about SSI and CGI for fetishfiends.com. The script mentioned references "/cgi-bin", which is incorrect. Your current directory is named as "/cgi". I do show both SSI and CGI are enabled. Server-side scripts and executables can be uploaded to any directory on your site and are not restricted to run only in the cgi directory. These scripts and executables are any files with the following extensions: .cgi, .pl, and .py.

So it looks like I will need a slightly different script. I tried making a directory called cgi-bin, and uploaded the script to that, but it didn't work.
