Apache CGI scripts download via web browser, and don't run?

I recently set up Linux Redhat 6.2 and I have Apache running with most of the default values within the htttpd.conf. Everything works fines, except when I try to run a perl/cgi script, it tries to download it instead of run it? I have checked to make sure that the scripts are executable and that it first line of the scripts points to the correct Perl location, and I have also uncommented the two lines within the httpd.conf file pertaining to perl. Any suggestions on what is wrong? I also added the following line, without success 'AddHandler cgi-script .cgi.pl' Thanks for your help.
 
I believe that problem is caused by the lack of a ExecCGI, and maybe the AddHandler lines in this type of directive:

<Directory /home/pgienger/public_html/cgi_test>
AddHandler cgi-script cgi
Options Indexes ExecCGI
</Directory>


That's from the access.conf of a webserver I use with scripts running correctly. The Indexes isn't necessary, it's just there so I don't need an index.html in my directory.
