Although it's annoyingly vague, that's a common error from perl cgi scripts. It sounds permissions-related. Try running the script on the command line as the user you want the apache host to run as, and see whether it gives a more meaningful error. My first thought is that the suexec user doesn't have execute permissions on the script, or on the directory that contains it. PWR.
