24 Reserved for likely future use are:
25
26 cpan:///dist
27 cpan:///module
28 cpan:///package

31 URI objects are difficult to subclass, so I have not (yet?) taken the
32 time to remove mutability from the objects. This means that you can
33 probably alter a URI::cpan object into a state where it is no longer
34 valid.
35
36 Please don't change the contents of these objects after construction.

42 This code is derived from code written at Pobox.com by Hans Dieter
43 Pearcey. Dieter helped thrash out this new implementation, too.
