I had a discussion about Email::Address module and decision was to not do such things as Email::Address is pure Perl module and Email::Address::XS needs C compiler. There are lot of Perl systems where C compiler is not available and there only pure Perl modules can be installed/loaded. -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com
