I have the following entry under apache2.conf in my Debian box.

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Options +ExecCGI
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/mychosendir/cgi-bin/

Then I have a perl cgi script stored under these directories and permissions:

nvs@somename:/var/www/mychosendir$ ls -lhR 
.:
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x 2 nvs nvs 4.0K 2010-04-21 13:42 cgi-bin

./cgi-bin:
total 4.0K
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nvs nvs 90 2010-04-21 13:40 test.cgi

However when I tried to access it in the web browser:

http://myhost.com/mychosendir/cgi-bin/test.cgi

They gave me this error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /mychosendir/cgi-bin/test.cgi on this server.

What's wrong with it?

Update:

I also have the following entry in my apache2.conf:

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>

And the content of test.cgi is this:
