The problem is not with filesystem permissions, the problem is that you
have not allowed apache to server files from this directory. You need:

<Directory /path/to/cgi-bin>
  Allow from all
</Directory>

which will allow anyone, anywhere access to this dir. Read docs for
Allow, Deny, Satisfy etc. if you need more specific control.

Rgds,
