I just did what you suggested and it came up with no matches. I have also written the author of this script with no response as of yet. If you can please help with the code, it would be greatly appreciated. Here is the whole cgi process code for birdcast2.cgi.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Socket;
require "/home/webbus/public_html/cgi-bin/links/admin/links.cfg";
require "$db_script_path/links.def";
require "$db_script_path/db_utils.pl";

# CONFIGURATION NOTES
#
# $SCRIPT_NAME is the full URL of this script, including the
# http part, ie, "http://domainname.com/cgi-bin/birdcast.cgi";
#
# $SITE_NAME is the "name" of your web site.
# $SITE_URL is the URL of your site (highest level)
# $END_LINE is the very last line printed in the e-mail.
#
# $MAXNUM is the number of possible people a person can refer
# your URL to at one time. If you call the script using the
# GET method, then this is also the number of entry blanks
# created for recipient names and addresses.
#
# $SMTP_SERVER is the name of your e-mail gateway server, or
# SMTP host. On most systems, "localhost" will work just fine.
# If not, change "localhost" to whatever your ISP's SMTP
# server name is, ie, smtp.isp.net or mail.isp.net
# $SEND_MAIL is the full path to your server's sendmail program
# If you do not wish to use Sockets for some reason and need
# to use sendmail, uncomment the $SEND_MAIL line and comment
# the $SMTP_SERVER line.
# okaydomains is a list of domains from which you want to allow
# the script to be called from. Leave it commented to leave the
# script unrestricted. If you choose to use it, be sure to list
# your site URL with and without the www.
# Use either $SMTP_SERVER
# $SMTP_SERVER="localhost";
#
# OR
#
$SEND_MAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
#
# BUT NEVER BOTH!!!!!!
# @okaydomains=("http://yourdomain.com", "http://www.yourdomain.com");
