the problem i think is that cgiwrap is enabled and you haven't configured httpd
for it

what i do is put these in my virtual host:

Action cgi-wrapper /cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl

and access the script by the url /cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap/<path to script>
path is typically cgi-bin/script.pl

make sure the permissions and ownership are correct or else cgiwrap will
display a page of warning
