I think you should configure Apache for you directory (containing the 
script) to be a CGI direcory.
Option: ExecCGI. Please see Apache documentation. Probably you cannot 
change apache configuration
directly on the site because it is a hosting site serving many clients. 
However, you can do almost the same
with .htaccess files. Again, see Apache docs for details.

About permissions. You should know who is the user running the apache 
process. (It is usually apache, nobody or www.)
You should setup your CGI script in a way that the user running apache 
can run your CGI script too.
