As some have demonstrated, this can be a difficult problem. Your best bet
is not to reinvent the wheel, but find someone who has already solved the
problem. For example:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Lingua-EN-AddressParse/AddressParse.pm
You could easily use the above in a Pl/perl function, or just in Perl
if your application happens to be written in that. Worse case, check out the
source code of the module and see how they have done it and create your
own version.
