Nope. * Email::Valid validates RFC822 correctness. Allowing .@ by options would change its core aim, thus be confusing, and make maintainance of the module more difficult. We can safely maintain these modules by subclassing. * See ::Loose implementation. Because Email::Valid is Object-Oriented, we can easily override its core function by simple piece of code. That's exatly what OO is good for ;) -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
