502 provides a basic set of services akin to the GNU <command>diff</command>

573 This module implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent
574 "Uniform Resource Identifier references" as specified in RFC 2396 (and
575 updated by RFC 2732). A Uniform Resource Identifier is a compact string of
576 characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. A Uniform
577 Resource Identifier can be further classified as either a Uniform Resource
578 Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The distinction between
579 URL and URN does not matter to the URI class interface. A "URI-reference"
580 is a URI that may have additional information attached in the form of a
581 fragment identifier. This module uses the standard
582 <xref linkend="perl-standard-install"/>.
