You can use the CGI module for this. I'm not sure of the syntax, but I'm sure someone else will be able to help you out with that. > 2.

I then want to be able to process the good emails as needed. <http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=email> Check out Email::Valid -- that should be able to do most of what you need. However, a paste from the Email::Valid documentation: Please note that there is no way to determine whether an address is deliverable without attempting delivery (for details, see perlfaq 9 [aka perldoc -q "valid mail address"]) Good luck, -dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
