Add a seperate Directory section and enable the ExecCGI option.

<Directory /wherever/your/files/are/present>
        options ExecCGI
</Directory>

The above example also assumes that you have the following line: 

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .phtml .py .fooscript

This would enable you to execute scripts outside your ScriptAlias
directories. (Read it all! the apache documentation has it all!)

HTH,
