It is trivial to parse the result for all the available emails. You can then take your pick. If you are going to make automatic responses you should be careful not to accidentally mail bomb the destination server(s). To avoid this you need to rate limit your responses to any given email address/domain. 

use Net::Whois::ARIN;

my $w = Net::Whois::ARIN->new(
          host    => 'whois.arin.net',
          port    => 43,
          timeout => 30,
);
my $result = $w->query( '207.173.0.0' );
my %emails = $result =~ m/^(\w*Email):\s*(\S+)/mg;

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%emails;

__DATA__
$VAR1 = {
          'TechEmail' => 'ipadmin@eli.net',
          'OrgTechEmail' => 'support@eli.net',
          'AbuseEmail' => 'abuse@support.eli.net',
          'OrgAbuseEmail' => 'abuse@support.eli.net',
          'NOCEmail' => 'support@eli.net'
        };
