Strange bounce, cannot figure it out.

A long time ago, I had a website, and on that website I had the hosting company install one of their custom scripts. That script has long since been removed from my cgi-bin, but for some odd reason, if the conditions are correct, a user will get a reply from my helpdesk at myuser@server.host.com

When that person replies to that address (myuser@server.host.com, they get this bounce:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

Code: 
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  pipe to |/usr/bin/perl /home/myuser/www/cgi-bin/as2000/gateway.pl
    generated by myuser@server.host.com
    local delivery failed

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

------ pipe to |/usr/bin/perl /home/myuser/www/cgi-bin/as2000/gateway.pl
       generated by myuser@server.host.com------

Can't open perl script "/home/myuser/www/cgi-bin/as2000/gateway.pl": No such file
or directory
Now I do understand the bounce, but what is telling whoever mails myuser@server.host.com to pipe mail to that script? It is almost like the default address has a pipe similar to what would be in a valies file...

I have had this issue for years now and it is starting to really bug me Strange bounce, cannot figure it out.

Any help is appreciated.

The strange thing is this has followed me from server to server almost like it must be in the site's root directory, but I cannot say for certain on that as I have always used a transfer script to make the move so it is possible that it is a file attached to the site outside of that sites / dir....
