You could try "../wwwtest/cgi-bin/cookie_trail.cgi" and see if that works.
It might be disallowed by security measures on the system, though, as it
can be used to exploit other server holes.

Other than that, I suppose you could try using ScriptAlias (assuming you're
running apache, that is) to rewrite "/cgi-test" to "/home/wwwtest/cgi-bin"
and see if that helps.
