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!
