Hi all,

I am hopeless with all this regex stuff, and was hoping that someone might be able to fix my regex's, as i think they are a bit broken.

fullname should = 3-30 in length, contain only uper/lower case a-z, symbols - ' and spaces
username should = 3-16 in length, have a lower case a-z as a first character, and have lower /upper case characters, numbers and symbols - _ .
mothers should be the same as fullname email should roughly validate e-mail addresses (yes i kow about the modules, but cant install them, and i kow that _some_ valid addresses will get rejected using regex's) conditions should only = Yes 
my %spec = (
    fullname   => qr/^ [a-zA-Z\s'-] {3,30} \z/x,
    username   => qr/^ [a-z] [-.\w]{2,15} \z/x,   
    mothers    => qr/^ [a-zA-Z\s'-] {3,30} \z/x,
    email      => qr/^ [\w\.-]+ \@ (?:[a-z\d-]+\.)+ [a-z\d]+ \z/ix,
    conditions => qr/^Yes\z/,
);
