No, that's not it.  If you don't have execute permission on a CGI script
then you will get a "file permissions deny server execution:" error in the
log.  and Forbidden sent to the client.

Also, chmod 700 cgi-script will probably not work unless the web owns the
script -- which is unlikely unless running under some setuid wrapper.
