ports/p5-Mail-RFC822-Address does not work as expected/described

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I installed from the ports the port p5-Mail-RFC822-Address to verify
mail addrs against RFC822; the example code provided by the author is:


#!/usr/local/bin/perl

  use Mail::RFC822::Address qw(valid validlist);

  if (valid("pdw at ex-parrot.com")) {
      print "That's a valid address\n";
  }

  if (validlist("pdw at ex-parrot.com, other at elsewhere.com")) {
      print "That's a valid list of addresses\n";
  }

But I can only manage to get this working when doing the test as

  if (valid("pdw at ex-parrot.com") == true) {
  ...

Why is this? I'm by no means a Perl expert :-)

Thx

	matthias
