How do I make a cgi script World-executable

ls -a will show you the permissions on the file, to the far left. They are grouped in three lots, the far left three are permissions set for the owner, the next three are permissions for the group and the last three are permissions for the world. There are three main flags on these permissions:
r = Read
w = write
x = execute
If one of these flags is present in whatever grouping it means that that person/group of people can conduct that action on the file. So, for e.g.
-rwx-rw--r-- 1 someone someuser 20984 Jun 13 10:22 file1
Would mean the owner has read, write and execute permission, the group only has read and write and the world only has read.
You can pass a set of three numbers, each one corresponding to the owner, group and world respectively, to the chmod command to adjust these permissions.
r = 4
w = 2
x = 1
So the command:
chmod 467 file1
Would change the permissions on file1 thus:
-r--rw--rwx 1 someone someuser 20984 Jun 13 10:22 file1
Now you can apply this information to change the permissions on your file to how you desire
As optimus said check the man pages, this is only very basic stuff on controlling permissions.

If I have a Perl CGI script (script01), which fills an array(s) with information and outputs a HTML page with a link to another CGI page (script02); is there anyway to pass the array(s) from "script01" to "script02" when the page visitor clicks the link?
Hope that makes sense!

smokeping_cgi
SMOKEPING_CGI(1) SmokePing SMOKEPING_CGI(1) NAME
smokeping_cgi - SmokePing webfrontend OVERVIEW
This script acts as a 'website' for your SmokePing monitoring operation. It presents the targets you are looking at in a tree structure and draws graphs as they are required by people looking at the pages. DESCRIPTION
To get smokeping_cgi going, you need a webserver which allows you to run CGI or better FastCGI scripts. The system must be setup so that the cgi process is allowed to write to the image caching area as defined in the config file. This script runs fine as a normal CGI, BUT it will appear to be very slow, because it does a lot of things when starting up. So if the script has to be started a fresh on every click, this is both slow and a tough thing for your webserver. I therefore strongly recommend using FastCGI. Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions. SETUP
There is a sample htdocs directory in your smokeping installation root. Copy its content to the place where your webserver expects its files. There are also two sample cgi scripts showing how to launch the smokeping cgi in your website. The only difference is the file extension. Adjust the paths in the script and you should be ready to go.
