This forces a '.' in the domain, while vonbrand@localhost is perfectly
reasonable. Plus it doesn't disallow adyacent '.'s. What about:

        my $domain_regexp = '[^.<>"\s@]+(\.[^<>"\s@]+)*';

(but this is probably nitpicking...)

I do not have preference either way about allowing an address
like tld-administrator@net myself, but Email::Valid->address
does not seem to allow it, and I just copied that behaviour for
consistency between two alternative implementations.

I think you meant to say:

        my $domain_regexp = '[^.<>"\s@]+(\.[^.<>"\s@]+)*';

(i.e. exclude dot from the latter character class), but I am
inclined to do this instead:

	my $domain_regexp = '[^.<>"\s@]+(?:\.[^.<>"\s@]+)+';

(i.e. still require at least two levels).
