This package contains the URI.pm module with friends. The module implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent Uniform Resource Identifier references as specified in RFC 2396 and updated by RFC 2732. 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. 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 mailing list. Copyright 1998-2003 Gisle Aas. Copyright 1998 Graham Barr.
