Hello again,
  
    I am using getOpts::Std, with a -e option where you have to emter in
your email address.  How can I do checking on that address.  I am trying
to verify the domain as well as the user.

Here is what I have but I don't know how to contiue:

<code>

getopts("d:s:e;h"); # colons take arguements
my @authUsers = "bob, chuck, pam, lee, april"; 

if ($opt_e =~ /\@somedomain.com/) {
     print "please use a valid somedomain.com email account\n";
     exit;
}elsif (    ) {
     print "you are not a valid user for this program.  go away\n";
     exit;
}

   I am not sure if I can put a conditional statement for the elsif
statement that would loop thru the @authUsers.  Or put it this way, I
don't know how.  I am working on a linux system, the user and group
permissions I am not worried about at this point in time, because I want
to use the valid email address later.

   Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Not sure if I should
change my @authusers to full valid email accounts and verify the whole
account, or pieces like I am doing.

Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks again,

Chad
