I'm trying to parse an email address and I can't seem to get Email::Address to work quite.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings ; use Email::Address ;
my $addr = "My Name <myname\@verizon.net>\n" ; my @addrs = Email::Address::parse($addr) ; warn scalar(@addrs) ;
Gets me "0" -- it appears not to parse that string, which certainly looks like a legal email addr to me [am I missing some problem with it?? -- I actually pulled it out of a file of addresses that sendmail is happily sending-via]. What am I missing here? THANKS!

You are not calling parse() correctly.

my @addrs = Email::Address->parse($addr);

Thanks! Total brain cramp... I _thought_ I had cut/pasted the call to parse from the E::A man page but obviously I screwed up bigtime [and it was one of those dumbnesses that after-the-fact you can't see in your own code]. THANKS!!
