This means that you should always check for a defined status +explicitly. Don't assume the return will be true. + +The value to test is always the first (and often only) argument. + +There are a number of other URI validation modules out there as well. +This one focuses on being fast, lightweight, and relatively 'real-world'. +i.e. it's good if you want to check user input, and don't need to parse +out the URI/URL into chunks. + +Right now the module focuses on HTTP URIs, since they're arguably the most +common. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Data-Validate-URI |
