can any one tell how to validate correct email address using perl script Can't Post
Can any one tell how to Write a program in perl with the following aim:

- takes an email address as input

- outputs a "valid" or "invalid" - valid if the email address is

valid, and invalid if it is invalid.

- make your own assumptions about what is a valid email addres and what is invalid.

I tried below stuff but didnt worked..please help me:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print ("Please type yor email id:\n");

$email = <STDIN>;

if ($email =~ /^(\w\-\_\.)+\@((\w\-\_)+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}$/)

{

print ("$email is valid");

}

else {

print ("$email is invalid");

}





Please help me.

Entering `email validation` in CPAN search gives 203 responses.

I love Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your thingy.

Perl documentation is available at perldoc.perl.org. The list of standard modules and pragmatics is available in perlmodlib.

Get Markup Help. Please note the markup tag of "code".
