Subject: The scripts problems

Message:
 

 
        Hello all.

I'm like internet programmer think that adding new TLD domain names with more then three letter can cause a problem of scripts. For example the line of perl script:
$email !~ /^.+\@(\[?)[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/

which means that new TLDs won't be accepted by this script. And most people have this line in their scripts, because it is a standard e-mail check. So this will cause a problem of rewriting of scripts.
