Cgi-bin comes from cgi scripts, cgi is the extension used for perl, which is linux. So i would think you need a linux machine for this, or you should install perl on your windows system and create your own cgi-bin. Then again, the cgi-bin is just a collection of scripts in 1 dir which have execute rights. If you give execute rights to a cgi script globally you dont really need that dir.

But the easiest is just "mkdir cgi-bin" because its nothing more then that.

You can use ActivePerl for that, i've used it several times.

One more addition: it's not limited to Perl only.
