I looked at that
http://search.cpan.org/~cwest/Regexp-Common-Email-Address-1.01/lib/Regexp/Common/Email/Address.pm
Provides a regex to match email addresses as defined by RFC 2822. Under
C<{-keep}>, the entire match is kept as C<$1>. If you want to parse that
further then pass it to C<< Email::Address->parse() >>. Don't worry,
it's fast.
This is from 2005, and the that RFC was replaced by 5322, which is what the big
regex I gave was from.
The Wikipedia has even more relevant info on email addresses:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address
It talks about support for foreign character sets, quoted normally invalid
characters, allowed comments, and do on. Basically, it is nearly complete
chaos. Check out their "valid" and "invalid" examples, as well as the
internationalization example.
