Configuring CGI on apache2

I've got an odd problem on apache2, running on Gentoo.  A recent re-emerge
has hosed my existing setup.  Because it's a re-emerge, it's possible I
screwed it up myself during the reconciliation of configuration files.  I've
been R-ing a lot of FMs and getting a re-education, and I've solved the
problem that kept the daemon from starting at all, but it's still serving
the source code of my CGI scripts rather than executing them.  The configs
and file/directory permissions all look okay to me now, so I'm into serious
debug mode.

The folks on the gentoo list seem to mostly paraphrase man page snippets at
me, which did help me get the server to start so I shouldn't complain, but
it's not getting my CGI up and running.  I know I can debug this, but I also
know there are several roads to follow and if I guess wrong this could take
quite a long time, so I wonder if there's anybody here who *really* knows
apache 2 configuration, and whether that changed at all around July 13.
