Add a bit like this:

<Directory "/var/www/moy/cgi-bin">
  Options ExecCGI
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

So that's a 403?  The access_log will have the exact HTTP status code:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

You probably need to check your permissions for the moy and cgi-bin 
directories and make sure +x is set on the script itself.

You can also run that script by hand to make sure it's outputting valid
HTML.
