I'm not sure if you actually want to be checking GetMergedUsers or
looking at the EffectiveId attribute instead, but I see at least 2
problems in the code:

>     my $merged_users = $merge_user->GetMergedUsers;
>     if (grep { $_ == $email_address } @{$merged_users->Content} ) {

Content is a list of ids, not Email Addresses and you can't use the
numeric compare (==) on a mixed number and string without really weird
results.
