URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators

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

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
