Saigopal probably has already figured this out. I've stumbled over the same problem before.
The usual tip in apache docs to use AddHandler does not work as the cgis not not end in CGI. The browser does this differently that todays standards and ScriptAlias is sometimes not explained in apache help pages. The cgis need to be in the scriptAlias directory. I've added this to the wiki.
