Specifying a third argument to split would solve this problem how you want.
E.g.
my $domain = "domainname.org.uk";
my($DOM_NAME, $TLD) = split(/\./, $domain, 2);
$DOM_NAME eq 'domainname'
$TLD eq 'org.uk'
However, unless you're guaranteed that the first portion of the name will be
the domain, and the last portion will be the toplevel, this won't work in
all situations. Given the above, www.foo.org.uk would parse as 'www' and
'foo.org.uk'. The only solution to this problem would be to know what
toplevels you can have and parse it based on that.
