silly question... where are the CGI scripts located /cgi-bin ?  what did you set perms on?  the cgi? the web page? the dir the page is in?  the dir the cgi is in?

Do you have a section like this?

     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/"
     #
     # "/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliase    # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
     #
     <Directory "/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin">
         AllowOverride None
         Options None
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>

Lost in Tokyo,
