Thanks to:

I spent some time looking carefully for syntax errors in FormMail.pl,
but couldn't find any. I therefore downloaded a fresh FormMail.pl
and modified the @referers and @recipients arrays appropriately.

This didn't immediately solve the problem, but the error feedback on
the newest version is a bit more diagnostic. I realised then that
the error was not in FormMail.pl, but in the webpage referring to
it. Sure enough, when I looked at the referring page, there was a
line break that had become inserted into one of the input fields in
the html form. Removing that solved the problem.

Cheers
Derek
