Is there a way to parse the part of the Sender's email address that precedes the '@' character so I can build a recipient's email address? For example: Sender email address: j...@abc.com
There is of course "more than one way to do it", but here's one: my ($localpart,$domainpart) = split('@',$Sender); Then $local is 'Joe' and $domain is 'abc.com'. The 'my' localizes the variables to the routine that's using them. Read about scope in perl. You must make sure the variables are cleared before the next message is processed, either by scoping or by defining them to be null before you assign to them.
