The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Mail::RFC822::Address
DSLIP: Rdpfd
description: Regexp based RFC822 address validation
userid: PDWARREN (Paul Warren)
chapterid: 19 (Mail_and_Usenet_News)
communities:
London Perl Mongers list, comp.lang.perl.modules
similar:
RFC::RFC822::Address, Mail::CheckUser
rationale:
This module provides RFC822 address validation. Email address
validation is a very common problem, as witnessed by the fact that
there are several other approaches to address validation already on
CPAN.
Functionally, this module is equivalent to RFC::RFC822::Address,
but avoids the significant startup performance hit of using
Parse::RecDescent by using regular expressions (see
http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/2001-September/005034.html)
Mail::CheckUser implements much weaker syntax checking, but
provides other functionality.
I am very much open to advice on namespace choice, but, I believe
that this module should live under Mail:: rather than RFC:: as its
purpose. The RFC822::Address reflects the fact that the purpose of
this module is to check email syntax against RFC822, no more, no
less.
It is my opinion that this is the one useful type of address
validation that can be done. Figuring out if an address is
deliverable is the job of MTAs.
