PERL VERSION

31       This library should run on perls released even a long time ago.  It
32       should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.
33
34       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made
35       that the minimum required version will not be increased.  The version
36       may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches
37       will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

WARNINGS

40       URI objects are difficult to subclass, so I have not (yet?) taken the
41       time to remove mutability from the objects.  This means that you can
42       probably alter a URI::cpan object into a state where it is no longer
43       valid.
44
45       Please don't change the contents of these objects after construction.
