Verify Email Address

I need to verify that someone has not submitted a bogus email address in my on-line form. So I need to check:
  • The syntax of the email address submitted
  • If the email address actually exists

Can someone suggest a Perl code to do this? FYI, I use cgi-lib.pl.

Many Thanks.

You asked a FAQ: How do I check a valid mail address?

FYI, I use cgi-lib.pl.
I don't understand how that relates to your problem, but why are you using that outdated Perl 4 library? Please see "How do I decode a CGI form?".
