[Lug-Nuts] Running .cgi scripts (Newbie)

Okay, I'm Mr. Desktop/Internet dialup kinda user here, (can you say wannabe?)
and now I'm
assigned the evaluation of a messageboard program called "Discus" on my
localhost . Problem is when I
run the setup.cgi from the web browser locally I don't have permission to run
cgi scripts.
I looked at the Apache docs and they refer to suEXEC, and describe it as
deliberately a major
pain to set up for security reasons. Frankly I'm not concerned about security
on this box.
I just want to be able to run .cgi's. Any quick n' easy way to get there from
here?
Oh yea: Mandrake 6.0 /Intel P I.
Thanks.
