make cgi-bin executable

OK, here is the deal. I have a website, and I would like for all the people to be able to run cgi/perl scripts...

details:

I have all the user cgi-bin dirs set to execute in apache:
EX:
/var/www/html/*/cgi-bin

the "*" indicating any user...

now, I have my system set to chmod those dirs every 5 minutes to 755

when I upload a file, and try to execute it(YES, the file is chmodded to 755.....) it won't run, and prints the program in txt format:
!#/usr/local/bin/perl
perl program....

this configuration worked on the windows version of apache.....

RE: make cgi-bin executable

Do you have it like this?

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/*/public_html/cgi-bin/"

If you have the users directories in a different dir change it. But that is the default for apache.
