Use split instead of a regexp (perldoc -f split) Let us assume the input string is in $str, this should do the job for you my ($first, $rest) = split (/\s+/, $str, 2); $rest =~ s/\s+//g; print "$first.$last\@domain.top"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
