Yes I'm trying to make it so that when I refer to a cgi script in my cgi bin
the script is executed instead of being just printed to the browser.

The scripts reside in the cgi-bin directory that apache creates when it is
installed. I have also created a cgi-bin on a user account and added the
appropriate lines to access.conf, httpd.conf, and srm.conf to what I would
think would allow scripts to be executed. Frustratingly the scripts don't
run from either location.

I added this line, but I still get the source code being printed to the
browser. For assurance I tried it in httpd.conf and in srm.conf without
success.

Nope just regular Apache aka httpd :) Thank you very much for the help thus
far.
