There is a Email::Valid module (available from CPAN) latest version is 0.14. I was going to use this in the script i'm currently writing, but other dependencies stopped me from using it. You need Mail::Address installed and a few other things (it tells you in the readme), and apparently it looks up the domain in a whois list, to see if that's valid. as for the username portion of the email address, you can't check if that's valid, but you can check the domain to see if it's a valid domain. after that, if it does exist, you just have to assume it is valid (unless you use what i use, and get script to mail a password to the address, and get user to enter the unique password it sent them).
