How about dispensing with all regexes to check e-mail addresses at least
until after you have applied something such as Email::Valid to the
address in question. E-mail addresses are just too big to wrangle with
a simple regex. Your test case fails Email::Valid and it will let
through many more addresses....
If you are looking for a validating regex use the one in the source
there (ouch), and then start reducing after it has checked true validity.
