I used the snippet of code from grand master stone, but the advice from
others also pointed out a simple fact that I hadn't thought of: I really
just needed to strip the input down to numbers. Pretty easy when thought of
that way. That wouldn't help with your email sitch, though.
I've seen plenty of chunks of javascript code that verify the format of
email addresses. Maybe you could find a chunk and adapt it to your perl
needs.
