Cannot run CGI on Apache -- Why?

[phpguy]

I'm trying to run a CGI file with Apache2, but when I navigate to it, I just get the file in it's plain text format and not actually parsing the file.

What do I need to configure?

I've tried this

<Directory /var/www/>
       AddHandler cgi-script *.cgi
       Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

And I've tried this

<Directory /var/www/>
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
</Directory>

Yet neither works

Any ideas?

Thanks
