    Alexander, if I place the script I am chasing under the /var/www/cgi-bin and
    do a symbolic link Apache will definitely execute the script and it works.
    Even doing a <Directory> container for the directory I want to execute perl
    scripts in does not work so it seems like am AllowOveride somewhere is
    killing CGI execution in any directory but /var/www/cgi-bin. I will
    continue chasing there...but suggestions are gladly received. ;-)

    Brian, try doing what I did...place the script in /var/www/cgi-bin, adjust
    the permissions and ownership as needed and Sym Link it to where you want it
    in where your pages are served from. I bet it will work...I'd bet we're
    chasing the same issue here.
