file permissions and CGI scripts

indapa has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am trying to run a CGI script and I keep getting the following message displayed on my browser (I am using the handy CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser) method.

Software error:

Permission denied
[download]

But when I my script from the command line I get no problems. I did a chmod 755 on my script and it did not help. When I run my script from the command line I get no problems, but I think ownership/permission is perhaps different when running it from the command line. I'm not sure what else to do, any comments would be appreciated.
