The way I would solve this in Apache 1.3 is by changing the DirectoryIndex:
<Location /page2>
    DirectoryIndex welcome.html
</Location>
Although this can be sort of confusing.  While I don't know your
situation, it might be better just to change welcome.html to
index.html (if you want it to be the index).
Alternately, you could use a little {perl, php, cgi} script that would
just send the "Location: " header to the browser.  For example:
index.php:
<?
header("Location: welcome.html");
?>

Did you use "AddHandler" to tell Apache what extensions CGI scripts
have?  Are the scripts executible (+x)?
This seems to work fine for me:
<Location />
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script *.cgi *.pl
</Location>
If that doesn't work, search through the config files for things
relating to the cgi-bin directory (after making sure CGI scripts work
in there, of coarse).  Try and find out what it has that other
directories don't.

Hope this helps,
David
