im trying to put together a lil' script thatll sort email addresses for me. ive a small file with:

blah@aol.com
blah@yahoo.com
blah@msn.com
blah2@aol.com
blah2@yahoo.com
blah2@msn.com
blah3@aol.com
blah3@yahoo.com
blah3@msn.com

in it and this script DOES sort them, only it loses blah@aol.com somewhere in the middle. any idea whats wrong?

#!/usr/bin/perl use Mail::AddressSort; open(EMAILS, "/root/emails") or die "Couldn't open email list\n"; while (<EMAILS>) { @addresses = <EMAILS>; $list=Mail::AddressSort->new(); $list->input(@addresses); (@addresses)=$list->sorted(); print "@addresses"; }

Edited by mirod, 2002-08-12: added <pre> tags around the email address list.
