Don't "chmod +rx" your www or public_html unless you're sure that's
what you want. Depending on your Apache configuration, that may allow
a web browser or another user on the same system to get a listing of all
files in your directory. If you don't want to allow that "+x" should
suffice.
That said, be sure that your scripts are "a+rx". Scripts are not
executable in themselves; they need to be read by the Perl interpreter.
Thus, scripts must be both readable and executable, while compiled
programs can be simply executable.
