NAME

6       URI::Namespace - A namespace URI/IRI class with autoload methods
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use URI::Namespace;
10         my $foaf = URI::Namespace->new( 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/' );
11         print $foaf->as_string;
12         print $foaf->name;
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This module provides an object with a URI/IRI attribute, typically used
16       prefix-namespace pairs, typically used in XML, RDF serializations, etc.
17       The local part can be used as a method, these are autoloaded.
18

METHODS

20       "new ( $string | URI | IRI )"
21           This is the constructor. You may pass a string with a URI or a URI
22           object.
23
24       "uri ( [ $local_part ] )"
25           Returns a URI object with the namespace IRI. Optionally, the method
26           can take a local part as argument, in which case, it will return
27           the namespace URI with the local part appended.
28
29       "iri ( [ $local_part ] )"
30           Returns a IRI object with the namespace IRI. Optionally, the method
31           can take a local part as argument, in which case, it will return
32           the namespace IRI with the local part appended.
33
34       "local_part ( $uri )"
35           Returns the local part string if the given argument URI (which may
36           be a string, URI or IRI object) matches the namespace URI, or
37           "undef" if not.
38
39       The following methods from URI can be used on an URI::Namespace object:
40       "as_string", "as_iri", "canonical", "eq", "abs", "rel".
41
42       One important usage for this module is to enable you to create URIs for
43       full URIs, e.g.:
44
45         print $foaf->Person->as_string;
46
47       will return
48
49         http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person
