Foreach doesn't require an actual array to work from; it's perfectly content to work on the list returned from split:
foreach my $entry ( split( /;/, $file_data ) ) {
do { s/^\s+//; s/\s+$//; } for $entry;
push @email_list, $entry;
}
Of course you can use map and get everything in one statement.
print join( "\n", sort map { (my $t=$_)=~s/^\s+//;$t=~s/\s+$//;$t } sp
+lit( /;/, $file_data ) ), "\n";
Update: Of course if you need the list later you can certainly store the return from the sort into a variable and print that instead.
my @email_list = sort map ... split( /;/, $file_data );
print join( "\n", @email_list ), "\n";
The cake is a lie.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
