Unfortunately in this sort of situation there is nothing really that you can do to change the policy or settings. Based on your feedback in comments about removing the .pl from the file name and it worked it sounds like the suexec filter is checking filenames for the existence of perl script extensions (perl runs files with .pl file extensions) but for some reason the check isn't good enough to tell a jquery plugin file from an actual perl file. Other than removing the .pl from the file name and refactoring all code references to that file there is not much that you can do otherwise.

Having said all that there shouldn't be a problem with renaming the file as generally when checking for the existence of a jquery plugin a check is made to see if the plugin is attached under jquery and is not based on if a javascript file has been added to the DOM as a filename can be anything.
