Take a look at the MailTools
package from Graham Barr. In particular, Mail::Internet, Mail::Header and Mail::Address
may be what you are looking for. Also, doing a search for
Mail::
on CPAN yields some results that may be interesting.

Thanks for the pointers -- I finally got it, but it's a little
messy:
use Mail::Internet;
use Mail::Address;
my @mail;
while(<>) { push @mail, $_; }
#read mail from STDIN and put it in @MAIL
my $EMAIL = new Mail::Internet([@mail]);
my $header = $EMAIL->head();
my @hlines;
push @hlines, $header->get('To');
push @hlines, $header->get('Cc');
push @hlines, $header->get('Bcc');
#thanks [ZZamboni]...
my @addr;
foreach (@hlines) {
my $line = $_;
$line =~ s/^\w+\:(.*)$/$1/gs;
#this is necessary to cut off the initial "To:" from the
#header line -- I'm not sure why Address::Parse doesn't
#do this
push (@addr, Mail::Address->parse($line));
}
#we now have a list of address objects -- convert to text addresses
foreach (@addr) { $_ = $_->address }
#our addresses are now in @addr
if anyone has any suggestions to tidy this up, please post.
Esp. clipping the "To:", "cc:", and "bcc:" seems like it shouldn't
need to be there -- but this worked on my test emails. | [reply]

I think you are bypassing the documented interface of Mail::Header
by accessing its internal data like that (mail_hdr_hash). The
following gives you the headers with the keyword removed:
push @hlines, $header->get('To');
push @hlines, $header->get('Cc');
push @hlines, $header->get('Bcc');
According to the Mail::Header documentation, get() in array
context returns "a list of all the text from all the instances of TAG".
Which should be what you are looking for.

Use the CPAN Email::Find module for that.
