Is the path to perl the same (first line of the cgi files, usually like: #!/usr/bin/perl)?
Do the cgi files have execute permission (rwxr-xr-x)?

I have found out that cgi files need to be chmod to 755, but what do the directories need to be chmod to? I am having trouble and need some help.

directories depends on the server's user/group permissions. if Apache and FTP have the same permissions, 700 will work, if they are in the same group 770 will, and if neither 777. Files which need to be edited need to be chmoded to 600/660/666 (again, depending on owner/group.)
