You'll notice in the section that creates the filehandle I have a statement that

Why did you change the subject to "nevermind"? The subject didn't change.
You used the /x modifier which allows for comments within regular
expressions. Remove /x, and the old regex will work as expected.
Read "perldoc perlre" too.
You also could have written it this way:
open AUTHFILE, "</home/customercare/authorized_users.txt"
or die "Can't open file: $!";
@email_list = grep !/^#/, <AUTHFILE>;
close AUTHFILE;
