Just curious why, if you can achieve it in your known comfort zone, you would prefer to accomplish it in an area you're not so comfortable with...and possibly unable to support in the long-term?
Perl is no doubt powerful but it can be a bugbear to support if you leverage it using someone else's snippet, without a firm grasp of what it's doing for you. Additionally, it would make scaling that much more difficult. Are you sure you'd prefer this approach?
Silly me...homework, ha!

nbp_name
NBP_NAME(3) Library Functions Manual NBP_NAME(3)
NAME
nbp_name - NBP name parsing
SYNOPSIS
nbp_name( name, obj, type, zone )
char *name, **obj, **type, **zone;
DESCRIPTION
nbp_name() parses user supplied names into their component object, type, and zone. obj, type, and zone should be passed by reference, and
should point to the caller's default values. nbp_name() will change the pointers to the parsed-out values. name is of the form
object:type@zone, where each of object, :type, and @zone replace obj, type, and zone, respectively. type must be proceeded by `:', and
zone must be preceded by `@'.
EXAMPLE
The argument of afpd(8)'s -n option is parsed with nbp_name(). The default value of obj is the first component of the machine's hostname
(as returned by gethostbyname(3)). The default value of type is ``AFPServer'', and of zone is ``*'', the default zone. To cause afpd to
register itself in some zone other than the default, one would invoke it as
afpd -n @some-other-zone
obj and type would retain their default values.
BUGS
obj, type, and zone return pointers into static area which may be over-written on each call.
