the cgis are stored under a different host name (the cgi.www.blah...).
what you need to do is refer back to the full URL of your site:
print 'return to <a href="http:\/\/www.veganline.com/\">home page</a>.';

(and using ' to quote the string avoids having to quote each '"')

That should refer back to the root of the site that called the script,
ie creating an anchor using an absolute reference within the site of
"/"

If it's  case of changing the cgi, then maybe:

<A HREF=\"/\">home page</A>

needs to be changed to something like:

<A HREF=\"http://www.veganline.com/index.htm\">home page</A>
