You need to escape the middle ".", otherwise it will just match any character. The correct line would be: my ($host, $domain) = ($fqdn =~ /(.+?)\.(.+)/); The line

my ($host, $domain) = ($fqdn =~ /(.+?).(.+)/);

won’t do what you want. You need to escape the middle “.”, otherwise it will just match any character. The correct line would be:

my ($host, $domain) = ($fqdn =~ /(.+?)\.(.+)/);
