I am going nuts here!   Im trying to do, what I would think would be, a
simple regex on a string.  I have a string that looks like this

To: user at where.com, user2 at where.com
    user3 at where.com
Cc: user4.here.com

What I want to do is pickup all of the email addys on the To: like,
spanning both lines, and put them into a string. The only consistent
string terminator is to match a line that begins with a character and has
a colon.  I can't get the regex to work to save my own life though.

m/(^To:.*)(^*+:/$)  is what I THINK it should be, doesnt work though.  Can
anyone help me out?
