The simplest way to do this is :

1) Select the domain from the left menu

2) Go to Services -> Configure Website

3) Click on /home/domain/public_html , then on Document Options

4) Change "Execute CGI programs" to "Yes"

5) Click "Save", then "Apply Changes"

Oops, looks like I forgot a step.

On the page for the public_html directory, click on "MIME Types" and in the "Content handlers" table select "cgi-script" was the handler, and enter .cgi as the extension. Then in the next field, select "cgi-script" again, and enter .pl as the extension.

Then click "Save", and "Apply Changes"
