This module implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent "Uniform Resource Identifier references" as specified in RFC 2396 (and updated by RFC 2732). A Uniform Resource Identifier is a compact string of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. A Uniform Resource Identifier can be further classified as either a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The distinction between URL and URN does not matter to the URI class interface. A "URI-reference" is a URI that may have additional information attached in the form of a fragment identifier. This module uses the standard build and installation instructions.

Install Perl modules by running the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL && make && make test
Now, as the root
user:
make install
When reinstalling a Perl module,
sometimes older versions of the module being reinstalled are in
other directories specified in @INC
. To delete all other versions
of the module being reinstalled (not simply older ones) set the
UNINST
variable:
make install UNINST=1
Install Perl modules which use Build.PL by running the following commands:
perl Build.PL && ./Build && ./Build test
Now, as the root
user:
./Build install
There is an alternate way of installing the modules using the cpan shell install command. The command automatically downloads the source from the CPAN archive, extracts it, runs the compilation, testing and installation commands mentioned above, and removes the build source tree. You may still need to install dependent library packages before running the automated installation method.
The first time you run cpan, you'll be prompted to enter
some information regarding download locations and methods. This
information is retained in files located in ~/.cpan
. Start the cpan shell by issuing
'cpan' as the
root
user. Any module may now be
installed from the cpan>
prompt with the command:
install <Module::Name>
For additional commands and help, issue 'help' from the cpan>
prompt.
Alternatively, for scripted or non-interactive installations, use
the following syntax as the root
user to install one or more modules:
cpan -i <Module1::Name> <Module2::Name>
Review the cpan.1
man page for
additional parameters you can pass to cpan on the command line.
