DESCRIPTION

  This module determines whether an e-mail address is well-formed, and
  optionally, whether a mail host exists for the domain.

PREREQUISITES

  This module requires perl 5.004 or later, and the Mail::Address module.

  The nslookup utility is required if DNS lookups are desired.
 
INSTALLATION

  To install this module, move into the directory where this file is
  located and type the following:

        perl Makefile.PL
        make
        make test
        make install

  This will install the module into the Perl library directory.  If 
  you lack sufficient privileges for this, then you can specify an
  alternate directory like this:

        perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/where/I/want/it/put
        make
        make test
        make install

  If the tests fail, you make need to change the path to the nslookup
  utility.  Go ahead and install the module and then read the POD to
  determine if that is the case.

  Once installed, you can use the following line to load the module into
  your scripts:

        use Email::Valid;

  If you installed the module into an alternative directory, you will
  need to let Perl know where it can be found:

        use lib "/path/to/my/modules";
        use Email::Valid;

  See the POD documentation for further details.
