Email:...::Loose(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Email::Valid::Loose — it's literally Email::Valid but it lets you put a dot before the at-mark. yes bestie, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Email::Valid::Loose;

# same as Email::Valid
my $addr     = 'read_rfc822.@docomo.ne.jp';
my $is_valid = Email::Valid::Loose->address($addr);

okay so it's the exact same call shape as Email::Valid, no new syntax to learn, we love a plug-and-play moment 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Email::Valid::Loose is a subclass of Email::Valid, and its whole thing — its entire main character energy — is that it allows a . (dot) before the @ (at-mark).

Now here's the tea: per RFC822 that's invalid. Straight up not allowed. 🚫

But and this is the important part — it's commonly used in some mobile phone addresses in Japan, like docomo.ne.jp or jp-t.ne.jp. So the real world said "actually we're doing it anyway" and this module said "bet, I got you." 🫶

🦋 IMPLEMENTATION 🦋

Under the hood, this module overrides the "rfc822" method in Email::Valid. That's it, that's the move. No cap. 🔥
