Except that the cgi-bin folder accutually is an alias, ScriptAlias, and
therefore it doesn't need ExecCGI even if it has the same functionality...

In httpd.conf you must also search for something like
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
and you must remov the # and add .pl at the end... THEN add
Options ExecCGI
to the folder where you need it... I did it like this:

    LoadFile "D:\Srv\Apache\mod_perl-1.3\Perl\bin\perl56.dll"
    LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
    <IfModule mod_perl.c>
    PerlModule Apache::Registry
    PerlSendHeader On
    <Files *.pl>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    Options ExecCGI
    </Files>
    <Files *.cgi>
    #SetHandler perl-script     #Uncomment this and next line to get .cgi's
handled by mod_perl
    #PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    Options +ExecCGI
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

To make .pl files get handled as CGI's, comment out these lines:
    PerlModule Apache::Registry
    PerlSendHeader On
and
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry

Also, change
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
to
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
