505 <para>Text::Diff is used to perform diffs on files and record sets. It
506 provides a basic set of services akin to the GNU <command>diff</command>

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