# 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 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 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
