I threw a barebones email address verification in until I can find the one in the Mouse (I think I just did, chapter nine, 219-220) that's more inclusive. Mine is just /\w*@\w*.\w*/, which I realize is hideously short-sighted. I'm erring on the side of being too restrictive. (That is the idea with security-conscious programming, right? If you have a choice, err on the side of being too restrictive.)
User addition and authentication no longer looks insurmountably inscrutable. I may even be able to get that searchy thing working, too.
You should look at Email::Valid and/or use something like

I knew it wouldn't match a lot of emails, but didn't realize until just now when you pointed it out that it would match invalid emails too.:\ Good thing this isn't production, I guess... I hadn't settled on anything yet; I want to grok the validation sub in the Mouse and check some other options before I decide on anything. (Whatever it is, I want to make sure it's fairly airtight. I'd like to impress Mike with this if it's at all possible.)
