       Regexp::Common::URI::wais -- Returns a pattern for WAIS URIs.

SYNOPSIS

           use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

           while (<>) {

           }

DESCRIPTION

                             [ ( "?" search ) | ( "/" wtype "/" wpath ) ]

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

       $1  The complete URI.

       $2  The scheme.

       $3  The hostname.

       $4  The port, if given.

       $5  The database, followed by search or wtype/wpath, if given.

       $6  The database.

       $7  The part following the database if given, including the question mark or slash.

       $8  The search part, if given.

       $9  The wtype, if given.

       $10 The wpath, if given.
