Usually something like this in the Apache configuration:

DocumentRoot /home/domain
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domain/cgi-bin/
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

<Directory "/home/domain/cgi-bin">
     AllowOverride None
     Options +ExecCGI
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

The "domain" is usually the name of the subdirectory your web files 
reside in.

In this example, any scripts that end in cgi or pl are executed.
