Update: Well, I learned something new today. @array = qw(...) actually works. Nevermind this post...

The first issue I noticed was that your @DEPARTMENTS array creation was not right. It should read: 
  my @DEPARTMENTS = (qw(
   editor@lsweb.org.uk
   webamster@lsweb.org.uk
   news@lsweb.org.uk
   ls2@lsweb.org.uk
   sport@lsweb.org.uk
   comment@lsweb.org.uk
   extra@lsweb.org.uk
    ));

Also, I can't find any reference to LSweb::Database::Email - is that an in-house custom module? If so, I don't know if your method call is correct or not. Have you tried setting the hash values inside the create statement to regular scalars (ex: $to) instead of references (\$to)?

It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.
