I don't think just a files directive will do it.  You probably need to=20

Thanks. I should have stated some thing. I already have lots of .cgi
scripts
written in Perl and have been running under Netscape. Initial idea is to
run
them as is. Some heavy hitter scripts are simple and well written.
My question was based in the context of the Files block
from the following from http://perl.apache.org/start/tips/registry.html

  file:hello.cgi
  --------------
  #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
  use strict;
  use CGI;
  my $q =3D CGI->new;
  print $q->header,
        $q->start_html,
        $q->h1('Hello World!'),
        $q->end_html;
This script can now be run as-is under Apache::Registry by using the
following configuration in httpd.conf:

  <Files hello.cgi>
      SetHandler perl-script
      PerlHandler Apache::Registry
      Options ExecCGI
  </Files>
