URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators
 $u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base);
 $u2 = $u1->abs;
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 URI::WithBase.
 
  - $url->abs and
      $url->rel have an optional
      $base argument. See URI::WithBase.
 
  - $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
