How would you correct this expression to accept only alpha/numeric 
except the @ and . (period) symbols?  In other words, how would I add 
multiple chars to exclude to the regex?

if ($name=~/^W&&[^@]]+$/)
{       print "Only the @ and . characters are allowed";
}


>  if ($name =~ /^[\w&&[^0-9_]]+$/) {
>    # valid
>  }
>
>which reads "\w AND NOT 0-9_".
