Several people have responded so I thought I'd post my solution...

In commonhttpd.conf (someone keeps changing the configuration file) there were 
the following lines...

<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
    AllowOverride All
    Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

and I inserted a couple of lines so it now reads...

<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
    AllowOverride All
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I dont know if this is good or bad, but it's workin for me :)

Thanks all
J
