NAME

URI::PathAbstract - A URI-like object with Path::Abstract capabilities

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

my $uri = URI::PathAbstract->new("http://example.com?a=b")

$uri->down("apple")
# http://example.com/apple?a=b

$uri->query("c=d&e=f")
# http://example.com/apple?c=d&e=f

$uri->path("grape/blueberry/pineapple")
# http://example.com/grape/blueberry/pineapple?c=d&e=f

$uri = $uri->parent
# http://example.com/grape/blueberry?c=d&e=f

$uri = $uri->child("xyzzy")
# http://example.com/grape/blueberry/xyzzy?c=d&e=f

DESCRIPTION

URI::PathAbstract is a combination of the URI::WithBase and Path::Abstract classes. It is essentially a URI class that delegates path-handling methods to Path::Abstract

Unfortunately, this is not true:

URI::PathAbstract->new( http://example.com )->isa( URI )

URI::PathAbstract supports the URI generic and common methods

METHODS

URI::PathAbstract->new( <uri>, ... )

Create a new URI::PathAbstract object based on <uri>

<uri> should be of the URI class or some sort of URI-like string

URI::PathAbstract->new( <uri>, path => <path>, ... )

Create a new URI::PathAbstract object based on <uri> but overriding the path with <path>

URI::PathAbstract->new("http://example.com/cherry?a=b", path => "grape/lemon")
# http://example.com/grape/lemon?a=b"

URI::PathAbstract->new( <uri>, child => <child>, ... )

Create a new URI::PathAbstract object based on <uri> but modifying the path by <child>

URI::PathAbstract->new("http://example.com/cherry?a=b", child => "grape/lemon")
# http://example.com/cherry/grape/lemon?a=b"

URI::PathAbstract->new( ... )

Create a new URI::PathAbstract object based on the following:

uri         The URI you want to represent

base        A base URI for use with ->abs and ->rel

path        A path that will override the path of the given uri
            (although the scheme, host, ... will remain the same)

child       A path that will be appended to the path of the given uri

$uri->uri

Returns a URI object that is a copy (not a reference) of the URI object inside $uri

$uri->path

Returns a Path::Abstract object that is a copy (not a reference) of the Path::Abstract object inside $uri

$uri->path( <path> )

Sets the path of $uri, completely overwriting what was there before

The rest of $uri (host, port, scheme, query, ...) does not change

$uri->clone

Returns a URI::PathAbstract that is an exact clone of $uri

$uri->base

Returns a URI::PathAbstract object that is a copy (not a reference) of the base for $uri

Returns undef if $uri does not have a base uri

$uri->base( <base> )

Sets the base of $uri to <base>

$uri->abs

$uri->abs( [ <base> ] )

Returns a URI::PathAbstract object that is the absolute URI formed by combining $uri and <base>

If <base> is not given, then $uri->base is used as the base

If <base> is not given and $uri->base does not exist, then a clone of $uri is returned

See URI and URI::WithBase for more abs information

$uri->rel

$uri->rel( [ <base> ] )

Returns a URI::PathAbstract object that is the relative URI formed by comparing $uri and <base>

If <base> is not given, then $uri->base is used as the base

If <base> is not given and $uri->base does not exist, then a clone of $uri is returned

See URI and URI::WithBase for more rel information
