Have you tried posting your question on stackoverflow under a php tag? You could even try searching for eregi there.	[reply]

`eregi("\n", $youremail)` becomes `preg_match("/\n/", $youremail)`. But personally, I'd replace this: `!eregi("\r",$youremail) && !eregi("\n",$youremail)` [download] With this, because `strpos` is faster than a regexp: `strpos("\r",$youremail)===FALSE && strpos("\n",$youremail)===FALSE` [download] Or even (it'll probably be faster, but it's slightly obscure): `strpos("\r",$youremail)===strpos("\n",$youremail)` [download] `package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
