I'd like to find a way to check if an e-mail address that is entered
on a form is valid or, at the very least, just not invalid. Checking
CPAN, I ran across a module called Email::Verify::SMTP. Has anyone
used this before? If so, what are your impressions?
If this is not a good module, what would you recommend?
Hi Marc.
For doing the job of validating the format of an email address I suggest
Regexp::Common. Take a look at the code below.
Verifying that the address is a correct an functional is another matter
altogether, and a problem that I believe cannot be solved in general, if
for no other reason than that it would be a God-send for spammers.
Cheers,
Rob
