NAME

Path::Class::URI - Serializes and deserializes Path::Class objects as file:// URI

SYNOPSIS

use Path::Class;
use Path::Class::URI;

my $file = file('bob', 'john.txt');
my $uri  = $file->uri; # file:bob/john.txt

file('', 'tmp', 'bar.txt')->uri; # file:///tmp/bar.txt

my $file = file_from_uri("file:///tmp/bar.txt"); # or URI::file object
$fh = $file->open;

DESCRIPTION

Path::Class::URI is an extension to Path::Class to serialize file path from and to file:// form URI objects.

This module encodes and decodes non URI-safe characters using its literal byte encodings. If you call uri methods on Win32 Path::File objects, you'll get local filename encodings.

If you want to avoid that and always use UTF-8 filename encodings in URI, see Path::Class::Unicode bundled in this distribution.

METHODS

• uri (Path::Class::Entity)

    $uri = $file->uri;
    $uri = $dir->uri;
  

  returns URI object representing Path::Class file and directory.

• from_uri (Path::Class::Entity)

    $file = Path::Class::File->from_uri($uri);
    $dir  = Path::Class::Dir->from_uri($uri);
  

  Deserializes URI object (or string) into Path::Class objects.

• file_from_uri, dir_from_uri

  Shortcuts for those from_uri methods. Exported by default.
