You need to set Apache to only execute scripts and not everything in the directory. The bonus of this is you'll be able to run scripts from any directory if you like.

Open up httpd.conf and change the line

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/"

to

Alias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/"

scroll down a few lines to

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

change the Options line to

Options ExecCGI

search for

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

make sure it's uncommented (remove the #) and add

AddHandler cgi-script .pl

below it. That's it, you're good to go.
