Make Jump.cgi to Injump.cgi

Hey folks - I was trying to rig the injump.cgi mod to make it so hits in and out were of the same value - I'm not creating a new field in the dbase for hits coming in. So I tried to shoehorn injump.cgi and jump.cgi together. Essentially all I need is the end of the script to send people to the my homepage instead of the URL of the link. Here's what I changed it to - the same code as jump.cgi - just the end is different - that doesn't seem to be working...

Code:
# Now let's send the user to the url.. 

    $goto ? 

        print "Location: $build_root_url\n\n" : 

        &error ("Record not found ($in{$db_key})"); 

}

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

I think it's looking for the definition of $goto, which would normally be

Code:
 # Let's get the URL. 
        open (URL, "<$db_url_name") or &error ("unable to open url database: $db_url_name. Reason: $!"); 
        while (<URL>) {          
            (/^$id$delim(.+)/o) or next; 
            chomp ($goto = $1);  
            last; 
        } 
        close URL; 
        $goto or &error ("Can't find link id: $id");

Just guessing, maybe you could replace the above with:

$goto = $build-root_url
