Okay, I found CPAN at www.cpan.org (duh) and looked up Email::Valid..
here's the example from the docs:

Let's see if the address 'maurice@hevanet.com' conforms to the RFC822
specification: 

  print (Email::Valid->address('maurice@hevanet.com') ? 'yes' : 'no');

Additionally, let's make sure there's a mail host for it: 

  print (Email::Valid->address( -address => 'maurice@hevanet.com',
                                -mxcheck => 1 ) ? 'yes' : 'no');

Let's see an example of how the address may be modified: 

  $addr = Email::Valid->address('Alfred Neuman <Neuman @ foo.bar>');
  print "$addr\n"; # prints Neuman@foo.bar

So I imagine after putting 'use Email::Valid;' in the top of Minivend's
Order.pm it could be applied very quickly.   I'll post to the list when I
figure it out.
