I don't know if there is an apache config to enable more details to the
browser for 500 server error (may be considered security risk). But
assuming the problem is broken CGI, you could easily create a shell
wrapper that you could access instead to get raw text output, including
actual shell error (stderr):

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/plain"
echo
./some.cgi 2>&1

Note that any headers the CGI itself generates will appear in the browser
text. But that can help identify if your script forgot to output any
headers.
