Re: Parsing an email address

strict would have prevented you from making the error of writing "[e-mail]". What Perl sees is the array @domain, which is empty and thus interpolates into an empty string. You want to use single quotes:

my $adr = '[e-mail]';
...

...or, alternatively, put a backslash in front of '@':

my $adr= "User\@domain.com";

Another thing that might help with this is using an editor with good syntax highlighting for perl -- one which will show special characters like @ when they are used inside double quotes, etc.

Using an editor which does not have any syntax highlighting for the language you are coding in seems just plain silly.
