Embedded Perl and email addresses

******    message to minivend-users from "Colin Mitchell" <colin@5points.net>     ******


Hi All - I'm trying to use embedded Perl to store a record of each
transaction that goes through Minivend.  Without going into details on all
of the other problems I've found (and mostly solved), here's my current big
one:  I can't store the email address given by the user, since it has an
ampersand in it and I think that perl is trying to interpret it incorrectly.
Being neither a Minivend nor Perl expert, I haven't had much luck figuring
out how to escpae the @.  All of the standard escape stuff in minivend
hasn't worked.  Does anyone have any suggestions, or know what to do?
Thanks in advance - Colin
