+ This package contains the URI.pm module with friends. The module
+implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent Uniform
+Resource Identifier (URI) references as specified in RFC 2396.
+
+ URI objects can be used to access and manipulate the various
+components that make up these strings. There are also methods to
+combine URIs in various ways.
+
+ The URI class replaces the URI::URL class that used to be distributed
+with libwww-perl. This package contains an emulation of the old
+URI::URL interface. The emulated URI::URL implements both the old and
+the new interface.
+
+ Questions about how to use this library should be directed to the
+comp.lang.perl.modules USENET Newsgroup. Bug reports and suggestions
+for improvements can be sent to the <libwww-perl@ics.uci.edu> mailing
+list.
