+This module does one thing: finds URIs and URLs in plain text. It
+finds them quickly and it finds them all (or what URI::URL considers
+a URI to be). It employs a series of heuristics too:
+ - Find schemeless URIs (ie. www.foo.com)
+ - Avoid picking up trailing characters from the text
+ - Avoid picking up URL-like things such as Perl module names.
