Update: As someone in the CB mentioned, what if the original poster had not mentioned this was being used to extract email? His problem is essentially a database problem, not an email extraction problem.

Quick, delete all nodes on matching an email address! They might be used for spamming! Oh crap, delete all the nodes on regular expressions, they're used for finding email addresses! You see where this goes?

End Update

Your logic is similar to:

"Most guns are used to do evil in this world. Therefore, I can not help you learn about guns."

or pehaps this is closer to home:

"Most email viruses are written in Visual Basic*. Therefore I can not help you learn about Visual Basic."

* I have no idea if this is true. Used for example only.

Unless I am gravely mistaken, this is a site for sharing a love of coding, perl in particular, and helping others. Not personal ethics.
