 I may be able to offer you a few more pointers...

 The proper syntax is:	AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

 If you would like it to execute both .cgi and .pl files, change this to:

 AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

 Don't forget to restart Apache after you make changes to your httpd.conf
file

 /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart

 for example. (very, very important!)

 This looks good, except you don't need the (+) sign... just Options
ExecCGI

 If you really want to use brute force, this will work:

<Directory /usr/home/xxxx/public_html/cgi-bin>
Options All
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

 You may want to try this, restart apache, test. If it works, then change
the Options line from Options All to Options ExecCGI. Restart apache, test
again.

 Good luck!
