Hi, Debian policy states that the directory for CGI content should be /usr/lib/cgi-bin - Create a directory (say, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/wcal) and install in it.
You should not need to modify Apache configuration - This directory is already scrpiptaliased in a default Debian installation. Always, if possible, avoid messing with other programs. If you have to... Well, then do it ;-) but I would recommend you not to.
