Experienced webmaster needed to help me

Well I have the .pl script in my cgi-bin folder on my server. The script IS being accessed, because the error it is returning is that my domain is not allowed to access the script, I have to add my domain to the @referrers line in the script. The error page has the FormMail copyright on it at the bottom, so I assume that is a script-produced error.

But I already added it. And chmod is 755. And according to the README file and documentation on FormMail's own site, if I have my domain in the @referrers line, then any email I specifiy from that domain on the HTML of the actual page of my site that has the form on it will be a valid email. It is halting, though, before it actually processes the form info into an email and tries to send the email. It is halting with that access error, reproduced here:
Bad Referrer - Access Denied
The form attempting to use FormMail resides at http://cyberhostserver.com/templates...1/contact.htm, which is not allowed to access this cgi script

Maybe the script is supposed to be in another location, with Perl?
But the error talks about "this cgi script."
