DESCRIPTION

 This module determines whether an e-mail address is well-formed, and
 optionally, whether a mail host exists for the domain.

COPYRIGHT

 This module is free software; you may redistribute it and/or
 modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.

PREREQUISITES

 This module requires perl 5.004 or later, and the Mail::Address module.

 The nslookup utility is required if DNS lookups are desired.

INSTALLATION

 To install this module, move into the directory where this file is
 located and type the following:

       perl Makefile.PL
       make
       make test
       make install

 This will install the module into the Perl library directory.  If
 you lack sufficient privileges for this, then you can specify an
 alternate directory like this:

       perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/where/I/want/it/put
       make
       make test
       make install

 If the tests fail, you make need to change the path to the nslookup
 utility.  Go ahead and install the module and then read the POD to
 determine if that is the case.

 Once installed, you can use the following line to load the module into
 your scripts:

       use Email::Valid;

 If you installed the module into an alternative directory, you will
 need to let Perl know where it can be found:

       use lib "/path/to/my/modules";
       use Email::Valid;

 See the POD documentation for further details.
