URI::FromHash(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation URI::FromHash(3)NAMEURI::FromHash - Build a URI from a set of named parameters
SYNOPSIS
use URI::FromHash qw( uri );
my $uri = uri( path => '/some/path',
query => { foo => 1, bar => 2 },
);
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple one-subroutine "named parameters" style
interface for creating URIs. Underneath the hood it uses "URI.pm",
though because of the simplified interface it may not support all
possible options for all types of URIs.
It was created for the common case where you simply want to have a
simple interface for creating syntactically correct URIs from known
components (like a path and query string). Doing this using the native
"URI.pm" interface is rather tedious, requiring a number of method
calls, which is particularly ugly when done inside a templating system
such as Mason or TT2.
FUNCTIONS
This module provides two functions both of which are optionally
exportable:
uri( ... ) and uri_object( ... )
Both of these functions accept the same set of parameters, except for
one additional parameter allowed when calling "uri()".
The "uri()" function simply returns a string representing a
canonicalized URI based on the provided parameters. The "uri_object()"
function returns new a "URI.pm" object based on the given parameters.
These parameters are:
· scheme
The URI's scheme. This is optional, and if none is given you will
create a schemeless URI. This is useful if you want to create a URI
to a path on the same server (as is commonly done in "<a>" tags).
· host
· port
· path
The path can be either a string or an array reference.
If an array reference is passed each defined member of the array
will be joined by a single forward slash (/).
If you are building a host-less URI and want to include a leading
slash then make the first element of the array reference an empty
string ('').
You can add a trailing slash by making the last element of the
array reference an empty string.
· username
· password
· fragment
All of these are optional strings which can be used to specify that
part of the URI.
· query
This should be a hash reference of query parameters. The values for
each key may be a scalar or array reference. Use an array reference
to provide multiple values for one key.
· query_separator
This option is can only be provided when calling "uri()". By
default, it is a semi-colon (;).
