Always submit a complete failing snippet. Seems ok to me:
use strict;
use warnings;
foreach my $email ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL
PROTECTED]', ) {
if ($email !~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/i) {
print "'$email' bad\n";
} else {
print "'$email' good\n";
}
}
__END__
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' good
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' good
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' good
