I just got a quick CGI script to test and make sure it works, but sure enough it is not working.
http://supercoolhosting.com/test.cgi
I heard before about Plesk and suexec being problematic with httpd updates. Where do I get Plesk's suexec to replace the one that does not work?

It doesn't appear to be and suexec problem. With suexec you would normally get a 500 error (UID/GID mismatch)
ScriptAlias is normally used to define whcih directory scripts can run from, however they can be run from any directory using the AddHandler directive. Also you'll probably need to add ExecCGI to the Options directive.
Scripts can be run server wide by uncommenting the following in httpd.conf
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Alternatively you could add the following to .htaccess in any directory
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

My bad...forgot to put it in CGI-BIN, however there is still the Internal Server Error you were talking about.

I copied /usr/sbin/psa-suexec as /usr/sbin/suexec, but still no luck. Restarted Apache, too.
Any ideas?

OK, that could be an suexec error. It should be listed in the suexec_log file as a mismatch error
target uid/gid (577/577) mismatch with directory (577/577) or program (0/0)
When the uid/gid match you would see the following in suexec_log
uid: (577/username) gid: (577/577) cmd: test.pl

Have you forgotten to make the file executable? chmod 755

Try running from a command line using SSH. The script works perfectly for me.
I'll send you a PM in a few minutes.

make sure the path to perl is the right path in the cgi file
/usr/bin/perl (this is the common place)
or
/usr/local/bin/perl

which perl shows me /usr/bin/perl
Here is the file:
QUOTE
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";
print "<HTML><HEAD>";
print "<TITLE>CGI Test</TITLE>";
print "</HEAD>";
print "<BODY><H2>I just wrote a web page using Perl!</H2>";
print "</BODY></HTML>";
