I don't know about your full disk (I actually never used CGI), but there are a few things you may want to change:
- You should either use autodie or check the return value of open.
- You probably meant s/</&lt;/g
- m< /domain.com$ >x will match "/domain/com", "/domainacom" ... (See quotemeta)
- You could do only one while loop with the flip flop operator:

while(<IN>) { next if 1../The mail system/; # The condition will be true from line + 1 until "The mail system" # Code here }

Edit: and having two nested loop with $_ as a loop variable doesn't help readability. Besides, while does not localize $_, so you are actually changing the content of the @files array every time you read a line (each element of @files is aliased to $_, and you write a line in $_).

Edit again: and just to prove what I'm saying:

use v5.14; use Data::Dumper; my @list = 1..3; for (@list) { print while (<DATA>); } say Dumper \@list; __DATA__
$VAR1 = [ undef, undef, undef ];
