What are the permissions on the cgi-bin directory? Specifically, you
need "x" on that directory. I don't know specifically about OpenBSD,
but on macOS "Big Sur" and on a recent missing "x" means you can't
search the directory. In that case open(2) fails with
[EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of
the path prefix.
and you'd get a 500 from the httpd. The other possibility might be
that the cgi itself is setuid, and its owner and group don't have
permission to search. (I don't know if that can actually happen, just
a WAG to cover all bases I can think of.)
