It is hard to tell what 
@{$message->{headers}}

contains because you did not enclose the output in <code/> tags.

In particular, it is not clear that the "From:" line starts at a newline boundary.

If it does, the correct way to capture the content is: 

my ($from_address) = grep /^From:\s/i, @{$message->{headers}}; 
  #^             ^  Parens added to create list context, to get CONTEN
+T rather than COUNT

It would also help if you identified what variable was dumped using Data::Dumper, and had that formatted better , using <code> tags.
