String::Validator::Email - Check if a string is an email address.
String::Validator::Email is part of the String Validator Collection. It will check a string against any number of email validation rules, and optionally against a second string (as in a confirmation box on a webform).
Provides and conforms to all of the standard String::Validator methods, please see String::Validator for general documentation, and String::Validator::Common for information on the base String::Validator Class.
mxcheck (OFF) : Perform MX Lookup for Domain Given. tldcheck (ON ) : Validate TLD against a List. fqdn (ON ) : Require a Fully Qualified Domain Name. allow_ip (OFF) : Allow @[ip] (forces tld & fqdn off.) min_len (OFF) max_len (OFF)
Important notes -- SVE uses Email::Valid, however, tldcheck is defaulted to on. The choice to turn tldcheck should be obvious. The fudge and local_rules options are specific to aol and compuserve, and are not supported. Finally mxcheck is not tried if there is already an error, since Email::Valid's DNS check does not work, that is performed directly through Net::DNS.
Email::Valid provides very terse errors, Expound provides errors more appropriate for returning to an end user.
use String::Validator::Email ;
my $Validator = String::Validator::Email->new() ;
if ( $Validator->Is_Valid( 'real@address.com' ) { say "good" }
if ( $Validator->IsNot_Valid( 'bad@address=com') { say $Validator->Errstr() }
The major TO DO items are to replace Email::Valid methods, return an Email::Address object and to use it to create methods for returning information from an extended mail string like: Jane Brown <jane.brown@domain.com>.
