This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that
depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to
be distributed with the libwww-perl library.
The following differences compared to the "URI" class interface exist:
*
The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate
constructor interface.
*
The constructor takes an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase.
*
The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs
