CGIWRAP and .htaccess will not work togeather, cgiwrap run the file
locally (after checking the owner and such) and the echos the output to
std out, it does not go through thr web server to get to the "real" cgi
script.

You have to make some changes in the access.conf
<Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

Should be the default, to use require (like in usernames and passwords)
you have to change it to include AuthConfig, and if you want to protect
agains hosts (with the allow and deny) you have to add Limit, like this:

<Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
