The module +implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent Uniform +Resource Identifier (URI) references as specified in RFC 2396. + +URI objects can be used to access and manipulate the various +components that make up these strings. There are also methods to +combine URIs in various ways. + +The URI class replaces the URI::URL class that used to be distributed +with libwww-perl. This package contains an emulation of the old +URI::URL interface. The emulated URI::URL implements both the old and +the new interface. + +Some tests require an Internet connection to work and are skipped +if one is not active. + +You need perl5.004 or better to install this package. You should also +have the MIME::Base64 module installed. Installation is otherwise as +usual: + + perl Makefile.PL + make + make test + make install + +Questions about how to use this library should be directed to the +comp.lang.perl.modules USENET Newsgroup. Bug reports and suggestions +for improvements can be sent to the <libwww-perl@ics.uci.edu> mailing +list. + +Copyright 1998-1999 Gisle Aas. +Copyright 1998 Graham Barr. + +This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or +modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. |
