substitution problems (involving @)

Hello.

I am running an email script. I take in a variable to the script in the format <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>datera@datera.com[/code]
I need to use this in a mail function like this:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>print MAIL "To: datera@datera.comn";[/code]
How can I add the before the @???
I have tried <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>$var =~ s/@/@;[/code] but it returns errors.

Thank you.

Hi yoshi,


you can try the following..

$email=~ s/@/@/;
#substitue @ with @..

print $email;
