Any ideas?

    This means that either the file you're trying to run or one part of the path lacks permssions needed by the webserver process to get your file. For example, for path /home/homedir/www/module.pm, all of /home/, /home/homedir/, home/homedir/www/, and /home/homedir/www/module.pm must have read and execute permissions for the user underwhich the httpd process runs.

      I'm stupid ;-)

      I just checked, all the directory permissions were correct but the server was running as user 'nobody' and I didn't have the right permissions on the actual file. It's all working now.

      Thanks for the help, I appreciate it :)
