URI::Namespace

  use URI::Namespace;
  my $foaf = URI::Namespace->new( 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/' );
  print $foaf->as_string;
  print $foaf->name;

This module provides an object with a URI attribute, typically used prefix-namespace pairs, typically used in XML, RDF serializations, etc. The local part can be used as a method, these are autoloaded.

"new ( $string | URI )"

This is the constructor. You may pass a string with a URI or a URI object.

"uri"

Returns a URI object with the namespace URI.

The following methods from URI can be used on an URI::Namespace object: "as_string", "as_iri", "canonical", "eq", "abs", "rel".

One important usage for this module is to enable you to create URIs for full URIs, e.g.:

  print $foaf->Person->as_string;

will return

  http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person
