One of the simplest things to do is to simply use a configuration file that contains all the e-mails that you wish to use, read that, build an array from it, and use that in your @mail_to array.

use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::File;

my @email_to;
my $config_file_name = "emails.txt";
my $config_file = new IO::File;

$config_file->open("< $config_file_name") or die("Could not open confi
+guration file $config_file_name\n");
while (<$config_file>) {
   chomp;
   push @mail_to, $_;
}

It looks like you have a conditional for $pro_box, which has a differing list. In that case, simply use a separate file for the pro list and you're all done

There are modules to handle configuration files (Config::General springs forth after q quick search), but for this purpose is like using a bazooka to kill a fly.
