This is a bug report for perl from scott@pocketpurchase.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Try this sample application:

*********************
#!/usr/bin/perl

$EmailAdrRe='[^\(\)<>@,;:\\/"\[\]\000-\040\199]+';
$EmailDomainRe='\w[\w\.\-]*\.\w+';

if($ARGV[0]=~/.*?($EmailAdrRe)\@($EmailDomainRe)/io) {
  print "OK\n";
} else {
  print "Big trouble!\n";
}
********************

This fragment is a minimal test case of a bug I found in ASSP.
(http://assp.sourceforge.net)

The regular expression is supposed to check for a valid email
address of the form <user@domain.tld>. The bug occurs if the
user portion ends in a digit.  <a@b.c> comes back OK. <a9a@b.c>
is fine, too.  But <a9@b.c> fails. To make the expression work,
I had to replace $EmailAdrRe with:

$EmailAdrRe='([0-9]|[^\(\)<>@,;:\\/"\[\]\000-\040\199])+';

By explicitly accepting digits, the problem was resolved.
