NAME

       Path::Class::URI - Serializes and deserializes Path::Class objects as file:// URI

SYNOPSIS

         use Path::Class;
         use Path::Class::URI;

         my $file = file('bob', 'john.txt');
         my $uri  = $file->uri; # file:bob/john.txt

         file('', 'tmp', 'bar.txt')->uri; # file:///tmp/bar.txt

         my $file = file_from_uri("file:///tmp/bar.txt"); # or URI::file object
         $fh = $file->open;

DESCRIPTION

       Path::Class::URI is an extension to Path::Class to serialize file path from and to file://
       form URI objects.

       This module encodes and decodes non URI-safe characters using its literal byte encodings.
       If you call uri methods on Win32 Path::File objects, you'll get local filename encodings.

       If you want to avoid that and always use UTF-8 filename encodings in URI, see
       Path::Class::Unicode bundled in this distribution.

METHODS

       uri (Path::Class::Entity)
             $uri = $file->uri;
             $uri = $dir->uri;

           returns URI object representing Path::Class file and directory.

       from_uri (Path::Class::Entity)
             $file = Path::Class::File->from_uri($uri);
             $dir  = Path::Class::Dir->from_uri($uri);

           Deserializes URI object (or string) into Path::Class objects.

       file_from_uri, dir_from_uri
           Shortcuts for those from_uri methods. Exported by default.
