This might sound really dumb, but what is a v-cgi folder used for? I am rebuilding a preexisting website and I noticed that a html form post method points to a v-cgi bin. The cgi-bin is empty though. ???

vcgi-bin is usually an alias to a "virtual cgi" folder - a master cgi directory that is physically somewhere else on the server. The webhost you are on may do something with the posted data that you do not directly have the code for within your web pages.... this is typical of bits of standard reusable app capability, such as scripts to send out mail or toss stuff in a guestbook database, etc.
You don't see it in the cgi folder because it is, as I said, a virtual folder. The server keeps it in a central location, available to all users.
