Directories are set to 755 and files are set to 644 by default. Thus, once you upload a script you will need to CHMOD the .pl or .cgi file to 755 to give the script execute permissions. Additionally, if you need to have a file or directory writeable by the anonymous user, you will need to change the permissions to 777.
