The validation link sent in the e-mail is incorrect.
It points to
http://<domain>/Blah.pl......
when it should point to
http://<domain>/cgi-bin/Blah.pl.....

Where is this value set ?

I see the $realurl variable in the Settings.pl file
but I assume this value is used in more places
than just the validation e-mails.  Is it safe to
add the '/cgi-bin' to this variable value ?

Yes it is safe. If it is a standard install then it should be:

Thanks to all.  It's working now.

Just a note to those who may run into a similar issue.
When you enter the $realurl into the Settings.pl file be
sure to include the trailing slash because the "Blah.pl......"
stuff gets appended to that.
