That depends on a few things, I'm afraid.  You'll probably want it to be 
editable as you, but runnable as the webserver, so you could set it to be 
owned by yourusername:www-data, and then make it readable,writeable and 
executable for yourself, and readable and executable for the www-data group.  
But if you're running the CGI from a home folder, or if you mostly just want 
to set this up as an root and not have user-level maintenance of it, it would 
be different.
