I created a script which extracts want adds from various job websites (monster, san diego union) etc.

It gets the add from the site search engine, stores it in mysql and grabs the email address from the add, so that after I read it, and find myself interested, I can easly send the resume.

To do this later I use this regex 

  @a_emails=($html =~ m/([\w-.%]+\@[\w.-]+)/sig);

which works great, and its pretty fast. I was just wondering if anyone had anything better to do the same task. I find that my regex skills aren't as good as some.

thanks
