This is as close to a perfect URL regular expression as I've come. It's based on RFC 3986.

A few caveats:

It only accepts http/https/ftp URLs by design, but you could change that to accept any valid URI pretty easily.

It doesn't support IP-based URLs or authenticated URLs. This is also by design, but you could change that with a little work.

Send an email with VB.net 2.0 with your SMTP Serve

This perl subroutine uses the CPAN module Mail::Webmail::Gmail to iterate through a Gmail account searching for a particular string. If a match is found, the sender's name along with his/her email address, the subject, and the "blurb" is printed to standard out. Also, all messages found will be archived automatically within Gmail to clear the message from the inbox folder. The subroutine returns the number of messages found back to the calling environment.

Sample invocation: check_email(username, password);

By default, the subroutine will use encryption to connect to Gmail however, by setting encrypt_session to '0' will disable encryption.

Send a Mail using Lotus Notes

This snippet illustrates following:

1. Using http request to get the data
2. Parsing RSS feeds
3. Sending email

This is a simple function to check if an email is valid or not.

Reg exp for finding url and email adresses. i'm using this from any projects of me. they working

I needed a quick way to make a Street Address and City proper case.
Lingua::EN::NameCase works best for peoples names, but it does not work well for Addresses. This is not intended by any means to be complete, but is quick and dirty.

Plus, there are not many Perl snippets here. So, I thought I would start simple :-)

I've found it kind of complicated to strip newline chars from a file with just the commandline. This tiny piece of code does just that.

I've found it especially useful when extracting tabulated data from a grabbed site where each cell is on a different html line. This way I can pre-filter the html, remove the newlines, and insert them again at register boundaries (row end in this case), so that with just a couple more replacement from within a regex enabled text editor I can copy&paste it directly to a database.
