I know this is impossible in general. I am looking for something that matches
the normal me@domain.tld. What I settled on so far is (in perl):

	\w+\@\w+\.\w+

This is cool in that it is short, it matches things like
first.last@host.domain.tld. It unfortunately also matches me@name@domain.tld
which I do not believe is valid. So my question: is there an *easy* way to
require exactly one "@".

Thanks for any pointers.
