NAME
    URI::Split - Parse and compose URI strings

SYNOPSIS
     use URI::Split qw(uri_split uri_join);
     ($scheme, $auth, $path, $query, $frag) = uri_split($uri);
     $uri = uri_join($scheme, $auth, $path, $query, $frag);

DESCRIPTION
    Provides functions to parse and compose URI strings. The following
    functions are provided:

    ($scheme, $auth, $path, $query, $frag) = uri_split($uri)
        Breaks up a URI string into its component parts. An "undef" value is
        returned for those parts that are not present. The $path part is
        always present (but can be the empty string) and is thus never
        returned as "undef".

        No sensible value is returned if this function is called in a scalar
        context.

    $uri = uri_join($scheme, $auth, $path, $query, $frag)
        Puts together a URI string from its parts. Missing parts are
        signaled by passing "undef" for the corresponding argument.

        Minimal escaping is applied to parts that contain reserved chars
        that would confuse a parser. For instance, any occurrence of '?' or
        '#' in $path is always escaped, as it would otherwise be parsed back
        as a query or fragment.
