What user is your web server running as?  

I'm working locally on my standalong machine and logged in as lover. The full path to mytest.cgi is /home/lover/public_html/cgi-bin/mytest.cgi. I may misunderstood you on this question. Pleas bear with me as a newbie.

Can you view
regular HTML files placed in the /~lover/mytest.cgi directory?

Yes I can
