=head1 NAME

Mail::RFC822::Address - Perl extension for validating email addresses 
according to RFC822

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Mail::RFC822::Address qw(valid validlist);

  if (valid("pdw@ex-parrot.com")) {
      print "That's a valid address\n";
  }

  if (validlist("pdw@ex-parrot.com, other@elsewhere.com")) {
      print "That's a valid list of addresses\n";
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Mail::RFC822::Address validates email addresses against the grammar described
in RFC 822 using regular expressions.  How to validate a user supplied email
address is a FAQ (see perlfaq9): the only sure way to see if a supplied email
address is genuine is to send an email to it and see if the user recieves it.
The one useful check that can be performed on an address is to check that the
email address is syntactically valid.  That is what this module does.

This module is functionally equivalent to RFC::RFC822::Address, but uses
regular expressions rather than the Parse::RecDescent parser.  This means that
startup time is greatly reduced making it suitable for use in transient scripts
such as CGI scripts.

=head2 valid ( address )

Returns true or false to indicate if address is an RFC822 valid address.

=head2 validlist ( addresslist )

In scalar context, returns true if the parameter is an RFC822 valid list of
addresses.

In list context, returns an empty list on failure (an invalid address was
found); otherwise a list whose first element is the number of addresses found
and whose remaining elements are the addresses.  This is needed to disambiguate
failure (invalid) from success with no addresses found, because an empty string
is a valid list.
