The right hand side of the =~ operator is an regular expression, not a
string.  Also, "@" is a special character in a Perl double-quoted string
(it does an array interpolation), and regular expressions are usually
subjected to the same sort of parsing as double-quoted strings.  Finally
remember that "." is a special character in regular expressions.  So you
probably want something more like

    if($self->TicketObj->RequestorAddresses() =~ /email\@address\.example/)

or

    if($self->TicketObj->RequestorAddresses() eq "email\@address.example")

or

    if($self->TicketObj->RequestorAddresses() eq 'email at address.example')
