Wrong, it would match because there is no anchor at the and of the regex. But the test is really bad anyway ...

See Jeffrey Friedl's regex that checks if an email address conforms to rfc822 published in Mastering Regular Expressions. IIRC that regex is about 6k characters long, it is also included in the module Email::Valid which I would recommend for checking email addresses.
