[PATCH] AUTHORS in Perl@10967

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Moin,

I guess it is not possible to include an URL instead? /me getting enough
spam already. If someone thinks this change is silly, please discard patch.

It also might be a good idea to test whether these addresses are still
alive. Mark A. Biggers f.i. is dead, and he has now a different one. Not
sure if he want's to change it in AUTHORS, though.

Here is crude script to test the host's DNS and/or the MX. It reports a lot
of failures, I guess most of them are gone for good. Should these failed
entries be flagged somehow? 

[Begin Script]
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

while (<>)
  {
  chomp;
  $_ =~ /(<.*\@)(.*)>/;
  $host = $2 || next; $email = "$1$2";
  print "at $email...";
  @rc = gethostbyname($host);
  if (!defined $rc[0])
    {
    print "\n Error: Unknown host '$host' - digging deeper...\n";
    $rc = `dig $host T_MX`;
    if ($rc =~ /status:\s*noerror/i)
      {
      print " dig found an MX record\n";
      }
    else
      {
      print " no MX record found!\n";
      }
    }
  else { print "ok.\n"; }
  }
[End Script]

Thanx in advance,

Tels
