#pod =head1 SYNOPSIS
#pod
#pod use Email::Valid;
#pod my $address = Email::Valid->address('maurice@hevanet.com');
#pod print ($address ? 'yes' : 'no');
#pod
#pod =head1 DESCRIPTION
#pod
#pod This module determines whether an email address is well-formed, and
#pod optionally, whether a mail host exists for the domain.
#pod
#pod Please note that there is no way to determine whether an
#pod address is deliverable without attempting delivery (for details, see
#pod perlfaq 9).
#pod
#pod =head1 PREREQUISITES
#pod
#pod This module requires perl 5.004 or later and the Mail::Address module.
#pod Either the Net::DNS module or the nslookup utility is required
#pod for DNS checks. The Net::Domain::TLD module is required to check the
#pod validity of top level domains.
#pod
#pod =head1 METHODS
#pod
#pod Every method which accepts an <ADDRESS> parameter may
#pod be passed either a string or an instance of the Mail::Address
#pod class. All errors raise an exception.
#pod
#pod =over 4
#pod
#pod =item new ( [PARAMS] )
#pod
#pod This method is used to construct an Email::Valid object.
#pod It accepts an optional list of named parameters to
#pod control the behavior of the object at instantiation.
#pod
#pod The following named parameters are allowed. See the
#pod individual methods below of details.
#pod
#pod -mxcheck
#pod -tldcheck
#pod -fudge
#pod -fqdn
#pod -allow_ip
#pod -local_rules
#pod
#pod =item mx ( <ADDRESS>|<DOMAIN> )
#pod
#pod This method accepts an email address or domain name and determines
#pod whether a DNS record (A or MX) exists for it.
#pod
#pod The method returns true if a record is found and undef if not.
#pod
#pod Either the Net::DNS module or the nslookup utility is required for
#pod DNS checks. Using Net::DNS is the preferred method since error
#pod handling is improved. If Net::DNS is available, you can modify
#pod the behavior of the resolver (e.g. change the default tcp_timeout
#pod value) by manipulating the global Net::DNS::Resolver instance stored in
#pod $Email::Valid::Resolver.
#pod
#pod =item rfc822 ( <ADDRESS> )
#pod
#pod This method determines whether an address conforms to the RFC822
#pod specification (except for nested comments). It returns true if it
#pod conforms and undef if not.
#pod
#pod =item fudge ( <TRUE>|<FALSE> )
#pod
#pod Specifies whether calls to address() should attempt to correct
#pod common addressing errors. Currently, this results in the removal of
#pod spaces in AOL addresses, and the conversion of commas to periods in
#pod Compuserve addresses. The default is false.
#pod
#pod =item allow_ip ( <TRUE>|<FALSE> )
#pod
#pod Specifies whether a "domain literal" is acceptable as the domain part. That
#pod means addresses like: C<rjbs@[1.2.3.4]>
#pod
#pod The checking for the domain literal is stricter than the RFC and looser than
#pod checking for a valid IP address, I<but this is subject to change>.
#pod
#pod The default is true.
#pod
#pod =item fqdn ( <TRUE>|<FALSE> )
#pod
#pod Species whether addresses passed to address() must contain a fully
#pod qualified domain name (FQDN). The default is true.
#pod
#pod B<Please note!> FQDN checks only occur for non-domain-literals. In other
#pod words, if you have set C<allow_ip> and the address ends in a bracketed IP
#pod address, the FQDN check will not occur.
#pod
#pod =item tld ( <ADDRESS> )
#pod
#pod This method determines whether the domain part of an address is in a
#pod recognized top-level domain.
#pod
#pod B<Please note!> TLD checks only occur for non-domain-literals. In other
#pod words, if you have set C<allow_ip> and the address ends in a bracketed IP
#pod address, the TLD check will not occur.
#pod
#pod =item local_rules ( <TRUE>|<FALSE> )
#pod
#pod Specifies whether addresses passed to address() should be tested
#pod for domain specific restrictions. Currently, this is limited to
#pod certain AOL restrictions that I'm aware of. The default is false.
#pod
#pod =item mxcheck ( <TRUE>|<FALSE> )
#pod
#pod Specifies whether addresses passed to address() should be checked
#pod for a valid DNS entry. The default is false.
#pod
#pod =item tldcheck ( <TRUE>|<FALSE> )
#pod
#pod Specifies whether addresses passed to address() should be checked
#pod for a valid top level domains. The default is false.
#pod
#pod =item address ( <ADDRESS> )
#pod
#pod This is the primary method which determines whether an email
#pod address is valid. It's behavior is modified by the values of
#pod mxcheck(), tldcheck(), local_rules(), fqdn(), and fudge(). If the address
#pod passes all checks, the (possibly modified) address is returned as
#pod a string. Otherwise, the undefined value is returned.
#pod In a list context, the method also returns an instance of the
#pod Mail::Address class representing the email address.
#pod
#pod =item details ()
#pod
#pod If the last call to address() returned undef, you can call this
#pod method to determine why it failed. Possible values are:
#pod
#pod rfc822
#pod localpart
#pod local_rules
#pod fqdn
#pod mxcheck
#pod tldcheck
#pod
#pod If the class is not instantiated, you can get the same information
#pod from the global $Email::Valid::Details.
#pod

#pod =head1 EXAMPLES
#pod
#pod Let's see if the address 'maurice@hevanet.com' conforms to the
#pod RFC822 specification:
#pod
#pod print (Email::Valid->address('maurice@hevanet.com') ? 'yes' : 'no');
#pod
#pod Additionally, let's make sure there's a mail host for it:
#pod
#pod print (Email::Valid->address( -address => 'maurice@hevanet.com',
#pod -mxcheck => 1 ) ? 'yes' : 'no');
#pod
#pod Let's see an example of how the address may be modified:
#pod
#pod $addr = Email::Valid->address('Alfred Neuman <Neuman @ foo.bar>');
#pod print "$addr\n"; # prints Neuman@foo.bar
#pod
#pod Now let's add the check for top level domains:
#pod
#pod $addr = Email::Valid->address( -address => 'Neuman@foo.bar',
#pod -tldcheck => 1 );
#pod print "$addr\n"; # doesn't print anything
#pod
#pod Need to determine why an address failed?
#pod
#pod unless(Email::Valid->address('maurice@hevanet')) {
#pod print "address failed $Email::Valid::Details check.\n";
#pod }
#pod
#pod If an error is encountered, an exception is raised. This is really
#pod only possible when performing DNS queries. Trap any exceptions by
#pod wrapping the call in an eval block:
#pod
#pod eval {
#pod $addr = Email::Valid->address( -address => 'maurice@hevanet.com',
#pod -mxcheck => 1 );
#pod };
#pod warn "an error was encountered: $@" if $@;

#pod
#pod Significant portions of this module are based on the ckaddr program

#pod by Jeffrey Friedl. Neither were involved in the construction of this
#pod module; all errors are mine.
