Better yet, use the version provided by London Perl Mongers: nms formmail which is vastly improved and more secure than your version. What's more, nms formail is more recently updated... and (based on comparative reputations) far less likely to introduce a bug or security gap in whatever you're using it for.

For future reference (and welcome, BTW, to PM!), I didn't chase either address you gave because

  1. I'm busy and they're not links as they would have been had you enclosed them in square brackets, per Markup in the Monastery, What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? and/or Perl Monks Approved HTML tags
          ...and
  2. Fixing what's already been fixed very well is a waste (in the form of re-inventing a wheel)
          ...and
  3. I already know they're far too long to waste time on (i.e., they are TL, DR material). See On asking for help, How do I post a question effectively? and Writeup Formatting Tips.
Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:
  1. code
  2. verbatim error and/or warning messages
  3. a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work actually means.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
