You may need to set your permissions differently.  HTTPD usually runs as
"nobody" - and the 750 permissions lock out "nobody".

also, the path to perl is:

shell17.ba.best.com% which perl
/usr/bin/perl
shell17.ba.best.com% which perl5
/usr/bin/perl5

and NOT  #!/usr/local/perl/

that's why it will work from command line with "perl ------.cgi".  there,
you've specified to use perl, which the system knows where to find.  You'll
get the "command not found" because your script isn't looking for perl in the
right places.
