Of course, it does. If you have a URL http://www.example.com/path/file.htm 
and you want to have this file served when someone goes to 
http://www.example.com/ you have to do something to make this happen. 
There is no magic that will read your mind and then do that for you. So, 
if I interpreted your problem correctly you want to go to the newsgroup 
comp.infosystems.servers.www.unix and ask there the following:

I have a script http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/install.cgi that works fine. 
Now I would like to have it called when someone accesses 
http://www.domain.com/. How can I achieve this with my apache version 
x.y.z. on CentOS z.y.x?

That's just four lines, no lame excuses, no lengthy description of non-
related stuff. And in the right place. *This* list is *not* the right 
place.
