Can you run the script from the command line?  The three biggest
problems I see that cause this are as follows:

	1)	Improper permissions on the script ->
			chmod 755 script.cgi

	2)	Improper #! line at the top of the script,
		verify that it points to the right interpreter:
			#!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash for sh/bash
			#!/usr/bin/perl for a perl script, etc.

	3)	Mangled end-of-lines, or end-of-lines hold the
		DOS convention of a newline and carriage return.

		cat script.cgi | tr -d '\r' > script2.cgi 
		(and try to execute script2.cgi)
