The global URI path prefix for CGIs, defaults to C<cgi-bin>.
+=head2 cgi_chain_root
+
+By default L<Path|Catalyst::DispatchType::Path> actions are created for CGIs,
+but if you specify this option, the actions will be created as
+L<Chained|Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained> end-points, chaining off the
+specified private path.
+
+If this option is used, the L</cgi_root_path> option is ignored. The root path
+will be determined by your chain.
+
+The L<PathPart|Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained/PathPart> of the action will be
+the path to the CGI file.

=head2 cgi_dir
Path from which to read CGI files. Can be relative to C<$MYAPP_HOME/root> or
