Well I am getting some tutorials now and trying to parse your previous example ( go easy on me tho :). From the beginning I`ve started with something simple as that (using a simple divide and conquer technique) :

my $match; if ( $match = split(/\s/, 'somemail@yahu.com') == 1 ) { # do we have a whole string with no spaces in it? # if so check for '@' if ( $match = split("@", 'somemail@yahu.com') == 2 ) { # if it`s split by 2 then it must be 1 @ sign # then do some other nested checks # whith regex for validating mail ex. are there any # dots or hash signs in the end of domain etc. } } else { print "Mail verification form failed!\n"; # call back the mail form }

Now I`ll keep going with regex to master it because I really want to know what is going on there and how.
