Email::Valid bug?

[Guru03]

Hi, i tried this:

print Email::Valid->rfc822 ('(e-mail address removed)');

and it says OK. But:

print Email::Valid->rfc822 ('<[email protected]>');

it says error. Why?

Email::Valid is not good...

print Email::Valid->rfc822 ('<[email protected]>');
it says error. Why?

Because, according to RFC 822, it is not valid.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html

If you use <angle brackets>, you have to precede it with a phrase, which
is one or more words. This is valid:
Email::Valid->rfc822 ('my name <[email protected]>');

Mmmh...

it's RFC 2822 Valid. See in appendix A.1.2 of RFC 2822...

It's too bad that Email::Valid doesn't have a rfc2822 method, isn't it?

There's a reason the method is called rfc822, not rfc2822.

Mmmh...

it's RFC 2822 Valid. See in appendix A.1.2 of RFC 2822...

And RFC2822 is still only a proposed standard, so what is your point?
