PREREQUISITES
This module requires perl 5.004 or later and the Mail::Address module.
The Net::DNS module is required for DNS checks.
Either the Net::DNS module or the nslookup utility are required
to perform DNS checks.
Under Win32, the module tests take a very long time, so be patient.
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
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.
