Package: librose-uri-perl (1.02-1)

module for an easy manipulation of URI components

Rose::URI perl module is an alternative to URI with more functionalities like:

 * a rich set of query string manipulation methods
 * query parameters with multiple values
 * usage of Apache's C-based URI parsing and HTML escaping functions
   when run in a mod_perl 1.x web server environment.

Rose::URI stores each URI "in pieces" (scheme, host, path, etc.) and then assembles those pieces when the entire URI is needed as a string. This technique is based on the assumption that the URI will be manipulated many more times than it is stringified. If this is not the case in your usage scenario, then URI may be a better alternative.

Rose::URI actually uses the URI class to do the heavy lifting of parsing URIs when not running in a mod_perl 1.x environment.
