When I try to install Email::Valid (using apt) it wants an additional two modules. Mail::Sendmail wants one other, so that's Data::Dumper, the two actually used and the three those two use.

Nothing worse will happen than the user chiding himself for his butterfingers if he/she makes a mistake. Besides, I think typos are by far the most common error. Those are usually valid email addresses while still not being correct. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231
