Run CGI on cpanel server

Hey Guys,

I am trying to run a cgi script (its a website page)...on a cpanel/whm server.

When I try to run that I get the following message:

500 Server Error
A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again. URL: http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/form1.cgi

I have tried running with permission 755.
Please help

I have never used cgi/pl

my files are in .cgi extension and on the top it starts like this:

#!"E:\Perl\bin\perl.exe"
use CGI 'qw/:standard :html3/';

the .htaccess which is not in cgi-bin folder, but is in the domain root (public_html) has the following:

#RewriteEngine on
# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
#AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm
AddHandler cgi-script cgi PHP html
AddType x-httpd-php .php .htm .htm

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
# AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html|php)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5
</FilesMatch>

Options All -Indexes

AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi
Options Includes ExecCGI

Still no luck
