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 compared to the URI class interface exist:

The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface.
The constructor takes an optional $base argument. See the URI::WithBase manpage.
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 the URI::WithBase manpage.
$url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See the URI::WithBase manpage.
$url->frag; same as $uri->fragment
$url->keywords; same as $uri->query_keywords;
$url->localpath with 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
