cgi problem

Background:
1. Program works on real world paid hosting (linux server).
2. Program works on Windows home testing server.(Omnihttpd)

Just Installed Red Hat 8.0 .
Created cgi-bin for main site using..
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/path/to/my/site/"
and
Directory "/path/to/my/site/cgi-bin">
Allowoverride None
Options +Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Directory>
Program seems to work for the most part with a few exceptions.
Using the perl command "unlink" is not working,
and creating new files is not working.
Im thinking permissions but..
I'm running the program on the red hat box (as root) using the local
address(127.0.0.1).
Chmod 755.

Thanks for any advice
Wayne

You may try the following:
<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/classads">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
