NAME

       URI::FromHash - Build a URI from a set of named parameters

VERSION

       version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

         use URI::FromHash qw( uri );

         my $uri = uri(
             path  => '/some/path',
             query => { foo => 1, bar => 2 },
         );

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a simple one-subroutine "named parameters" style interface for
       creating URIs. Underneath the hood it uses "URI.pm", though because of the simplified
       interface it may not support all possible options for all types of URIs.

       It was created for the common case where you simply want to have a simple interface for
       creating syntactically correct URIs from known components (like a path and query string).
       Doing this using the native "URI.pm" interface is rather tedious, requiring a number of
       method calls, which is particularly ugly when done inside a templating system such as
       Mason or TT2.

FUNCTIONS

       This module provides two functions both of which are optionally exportable:

   uri( ... ) and uri_object( ... )
       Both of these functions accept the same set of parameters, except for one additional
       parameter allowed when calling "uri()".

       The "uri()" function simply returns a string representing a canonicalized URI based on the
       provided parameters. The "uri_object()" function returns new a "URI.pm" object based on
       the given parameters.

       These parameters are:

       •   scheme

           The URI's scheme. This is optional, and if none is given you will create a schemeless
           URI. This is useful if you want to create a URI to a path on the same server (as is
           commonly done in "<a>" tags).

       •   host

       •   port

       •   path

           The path can be either a string or an array reference.

           If an array reference is passed each defined member of the array will be joined by a
           single forward slash (/).

           If you are building a host-less URI and want to include a leading slash then make the
           first element of the array reference an empty string ('').

           You can add a trailing slash by making the last element of the array reference an
           empty string.

       •   username

       •   password

       •   fragment

           All of these are optional strings which can be used to specify that part of the URI.

       •   query

           This should be a hash reference of query parameters. The values for each key may be a
           scalar or array reference. Use an array reference to provide multiple values for one
           key.

       •   query_separator

           This option is can only be provided when calling "uri()". By default, it is a semi-
           colon (;).
