a fairly simple CGI that is similar to the infamous formmail.pl from Matt's Script Archive

How is the script you modified different from the NMS Formmail script? If the company who created the script is refusing to let you make your changes public, just use the NMS script, and modify it slightly if necessary. In my experience it's better just to stay out of such messes with incompetent companies.

Also keep in mind that you may have fixed most of the problems, but adding strict, warnings, and taint checking doesn't make a piece of code secure and reliable. There have been more people working on the NMS scripts for longer, and although Re-inventing wheels is not always bad, doing it does have its downsides.
