au contraire.
Options ExecCGI
sets options to be 'ExecCGI' only, regardless of what they were
before, whereas
Options +ExecCGI
leaves current options as is, except for turning ExecCGI on.

make sure the partition is mounted for executability
(as opposed to noexec) -- use command 'mount'
can you run the perl from the command line?
have you enabled mod_cgi?
LoadModule cgi_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_cgi.so
# if you don't `apt-get install apache-perl` you'll need to:
# LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
# note that this will tell apache to run ANYthing
# ending in *.cgi or *.pl, so beware!
<FilesMatch "\.cgi">
# these will need '#!' shebang path on first line
SetHandler cgi-script
Options +ExecCGI
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.pl">
Options +ExecCGI
SetHandler perl-script
PerlSendHeader Off
PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun
# or
# PerlHandler Apache::Registry
</FilesMatch>

hopefully there's a pointer in the above hoo-hah to nudge
you over the top...? (and with luck, i've not left out
anything important -- there's lots!)
