Newbie Question: Apache and CGI

Is it possible to execute perl CGI scripts owned by two different users on the same virtual account?

I am not really sure I am asking this question correct so let me give you some background and a specific example:

We have a virtual hosting account with a Hosting company that I don't want to mention. UserA is the main user account we received when we signed up. We can upload and use scripts on this account as UserA without any problems. We had the host add a second FTP & SSH account which we will call UserB. I can upload files as UserB and I can execute scripts in a shell as UserB but I get a 500 error when trying to run a script by UserB in a browser. Is this a limitation or security issue with Apache? Is it possible to do what I want to do?

This is on a RehHat 6.2 server to the best of my knowledge. UserB is in the same group as UserA if that helps.

Thanks
~Chas
