 The GPL allows you to use and incorporate GPL'd software into
 commercial applications.  However, if you *modify* the GPL'd
 software, you *must* make said modifications freely available
 under the GPL also.  If you don't modify it, there is no issue.

That's wrong: GPL regulates software distribution only.
If you modify a GPL-program for internal use, you don't
have to distribute your changes.

Re: my first attempt at a perl script (syntax error)

Hi Sam,

 I have a few syntax error which I
 don't know how to resolve.  One issue is how to declare a local
 variable, and the other is a problem with my open statement.

maybe you should read some introductionary Perl 
books, like http://www.effectiveperl.com/toc.html or
http://www.ebb.org/PickingUpPerl/pickingUpPerl.html

A good place to ask is news:comp.lang.perl.misc (after you've 
read http://www.perl.com/pub/doc/manual/html/pod/perlfaq.html )

 For one of our web services we ask people for a valid email-address to
 access the service. Once the address passes an initial RFC822 check we send
 a message to the user which contains an activation link. Once the user
 receives the message and clicks on the link we consider the email address
 valid and he/she can use the service.

Maybe this will be useful: http://public.yahoo.com/~jfriedl/regex/code.html
and Email::Find from http://athens.arena-i.com/~schwern/src/
