Change the $mailprog line to the correct path:
$mailprog  ='/usr/sbin/sendmail';  # change this if necessary

Change the sendmail line to read:
open (MAIL, "|$mailprog -t") || die "sendmail error\n";

Ensure that both the $from_addr and $to_addr are email addresses that do
exist. If you have any more problems, email me offlist and we can sort it
out for you.
