Hello everyone,
I was able to track down the original issue.
It was not in this line of code. However,
I do know that I have this code on another
script and occasionally --- not following any
rhyme or reason --- does declare of false
negative.
Thank you,
Bill

I am trying to validate email addresses.
I have the following code which succeeds in
most cases:
if ($in{email} !~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/i)
If the username part of the email address contains
either a "." or a "-", this code fails.
Can you tell me why it would fail, and how I could change
it to make it work for me?
Always submit a complete failing snippet. Seems ok to me:
use strict;
use warnings;
foreach my $email ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', ) {
if ($email !~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/i) {
print "'$email' bad\n";
} else {
print "'$email' good\n";
}
}
__END__
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' good
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' good
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' good
