Did you read and head the error mesage?
put a working script in the folder and try and execute it.
==============================================================
Error Message: Permission denied 
Error Number: 13 This message usually indicates there is a problem with the 
script itself. Often this indicates either that the #! line of the script is 
incorrect, or the script was uploaded in binary mode instead of ascii mode. 
Check to make sure that the script does not have control-M's at the end of 
every line. That will prevent it from executing. An easy fix that takes care 
of this most of the time is to put '#!/.../perl --' instead of '#!/.../perl' 
on the first line of the script. 
=============================================================
permissions might be chmod 711  chown nobody.sitexx  [ both cgi and the 
directory ]
Is this a FrontPage site? I note that the URL /home_spa_II.htm
sometimes with FP there are other issues.
