Okay, looking at this in another light ... How does this substitution, which in theory strips the domain and route portion of the email address, fair.

( $domain ) = $email =~ /\@([^\@]+)$/;

Note that this substitution does not handle RFC822 addresses which contains elements beyond the local_part@domain atoms (however this may be considered beyond the scope of this question).

Update - Okay, updated using a subset of the RFC822 email address regular expression from Mastering Regular Expressions to strip off the trailing domain portion to leave the "username" element ...

$email =~ s/(?:\@[\040\t]*(?:(?:[^(\040)<>@,;:"\\\[\]\000-\037\x80-\xf
+f]|(?:\[(\040)<>@,;:"\\\[\]\000-\037\x80-\xff]))+(?!(?:[^(\040)<>@,;:
