Sorry if this is oft repeated but I cant find anything in faqs

can someone tell me the simplest (doesnt have to be the cleverest) means
of validating an email address (not MX lookup just the string itself)

thanks

use Email::Valid;

my $validate = Email::Valid->new;
my $address = '(e-mail address removed)';

print $validate->address($address) ? 'yes' : 'no';
