I'm trying to get perl working correctly on a new server and have a
tough time.  The server works fine for all standard web pages and hosts
about 10 domains.  Here's is my test.cgi CGI script I'm trying to run:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello!";



When I attempt to access the file via a web browers, I get this:

[Tue Jul 12 16:46:11 2005] [error] [client 209.74.180.78] (13)Permission
denied: exec of '/var/www/cgi-bin/test.cgi' failed
[Tue Jul 12 16:46:11 2005] [error] [client 209.74.180.78] Premature end
of script headers: test.cgi     

However, if I run it locally, I get the "Hello" output.  I gave the file
777 and 755 rights (neither worked) and even gave apache ownership
(apache:apache owns the file).  Still get the Error 500 web page and the
above errors.  

So I went further and dug more.  In the httpd.conf, I established this:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl ; set this: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/
"/var/www/cgi-bin/" ; <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny               
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Still no luck.... 

What am I missing?

Thanks.
Scott
