Well, there shouldn't actually need to be a directory there.

The way the README suggests to install is, I think bu adding:

<Location /cgi/iowa>
	SetHandler iowa
</Location>

to your httpd.conf file.  You then run your iowa app from anywhere you 
like and connections to yourserver/cgi/iowa/appname will be forwarded to 
the application running with the same name.  Of course you could set up 
a location called just /iowa  but it doesn't need to (and shouldn't) 
point to a real directory.

Hope that clarifies a bit,

Julian
