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 de-
     pend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to be dis-
     tributed 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 construc-
	tor 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 con-
	sider 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::With-
	Base.

     *	$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
