# 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 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. The `URI::URL` class is a subclasses 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 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
