I think the Perl idiom for this is
   	if (eval { require Net::Domain; 1 }) {

Note the block form of eval (which is more efficient, and is usual way of trap exceptions in Perl), using return value of eval instead of using $@ variable, and using 'require' rather than 'use'.

Why this duplication? You have 'eval unless eval unless', with 'eval unless' twice.

I'd like to have a comment about the above line: why it is necessary?

It is a matter of style, but unless function is a very simple one, the preferred way is to use explicit return statement, i.e.

   	return $maildomain;
> +}
