NAME

       Regexp::Common::URI::file -- Returns a pattern for file URIs.

SYNOPSIS

           use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

           while (<>) {
               /$RE{URI}{file}/       and  print "Contains a file URI.\n";
           }

DESCRIPTION

   $RE{URI}{file}
       Returns a pattern that matches file URIs, as defined by RFC 1738.  File URIs have the
       form:

           "file:" "//" [ host | "localhost" ] "/" fpath

       Under "{-keep}", the following are returned:

       $1  The complete URI.

       $2  The scheme.

       $3  The part of the URI following "file://".

       $4  The hostname.

       $5  The path name, including the leading slash.

       $6  The path name, without the leading slash.
