NAME

URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators

SYNOPSIS

 $u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base);
 $u2 = $u1->abs;

DESCRIPTION

This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to be distributed with the libwww-perl library.

The following differences exist compared to the "URI" class interface:

*

The

URI::URL

module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface.

*

The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclass of "URI::WithBase".

*

The

URI::URL-

>newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs.

*

URI::URL::strict(1)

*

$url->print_on method

*

$url->crack method

*

$url->full_path: same as ($uri->abs_path || ``/'')

*

$url->netloc: same as $uri->authority

*

$url->epath, $url->equery: same as $uri->path, $uri->query

*

$url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings.

*

$url->path_components: same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters)

*

$url->params and $url->eparams methods

*

$url->base method. See URI::WithBase.

*

$url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase.

*

$url->frag: same as $uri->fragment

*

$url->keywords: same as $uri->query_keywords

*

$url->localpath and friends map to $uri->file.

*

$url->address and $url->encoded822addr: same as $uri->to for mailto

URI

*

$url->groupart method for news

URI

*

$url->article: same as $uri->message
