Thanks for your input. Essentially, it's a very basic measure to ensure a user is actually entering our ISP provided email address, so anything aside from [EMAIL PROTECTED] should fail. (Of course as pointed out by Rob, it was futile anyway as it was doing a 'contains' check as opposed to an equality check. This was more of an 'I don't understand why this var goes undef at this time' thing. Nonetheless, the docs contained the answer as per usual ;) Thanks guys, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
