URI::URL(3)                          User Contributed Perl Documentation                         URI::URL(3)



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
