in reply to Please evaluate: RegEx for validating e-mail addresses
also as([a-z]|[0-9])+
or([a-z0-9])+
which will save you a lot of capturing clauses if you don't need to capture anything[a-z0-9]+
I didn't analyze the whole regex, but at a first view some questions arised:
x) what's about _ and uppercase letters? -> \w instead of a-z0-9
x) \@{1} is the same as \@ => so {1} can be omitted, also in \.{1}
x) what about user@my-domain.tld ?
x) x.@domain.tld seems ok
$mail =~ /^ # at the beginning [a-zA-z0-9] # one letter or digit [a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.] # opt. letters, digits, underscores. \@ [a-zA-z] # one letter ... $/x;
for scripts in production I like to use Mail::RFC822::Address from CPAN...
Best regards,
perl -e "s>>*F>e=>y)\*martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"
