RE: printing an email address

[Hanson, Robert]

It looks like that is the answer though, in a roundabout way.

Teddy, if this is for output into an HTML page, no, it won't show up because
< and > are special chars.  You need to HTML encode them, manually or
otherwise.

This should work:

$line = "&lt;orasnita\@yahoo.com&gt;";
print $line;

D'oh!

This won't work in Perl.  For some reason I thought I was answering a
PHP question.  Damn flu.

My apologies if I confused anyone.
