Have just assumed responsibility for a new client's site. OS is Linux. They had a cgi-bin directory below document root.
I was looking at my error.log for an issue with a script and found a number of attempts to access dis-used Perl scripts. I have removed the entire cgi-bin directory now.
Questions:
Where would I find the suexec log on a Linux VPS? It is not in /var/log/httpd/suexec_log
How would the attacker have gotten a directory listing of the cgi-bin assuming permissions were correctly set?
Any thoughts on further action now that the cgi-bin has been removed?

What flavor of Linux? Try /var/log/apache2/suexec.log, but looks like suexec (Apache) does not have permissions to write to the log file. Appears to be a bot looking for vulnerable scripts.
