✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is Regexp::Common::URI::file — it hands you a pattern for file URIs. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, imagine you just wanna know if your input has a file URI in it:

use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

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

slay. it just works 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

$RE{URI}{file}

so this one returns a pattern that matches file URIs, exactly as defined by RFC 1738 — no cap, that's the spec. file URIs are giving:

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

and when you're running it under {-keep}, it hands you back these little babies:

  • $1 — the complete URI. the whole thing. main character energy 👑
  • $2 — the scheme. yep, the file part.
  • $3 — everything in the URI that comes after file://.
  • $4 — the hostname.
  • $5 — the path name, including the leading slash. slash stays, we stan 🌈
  • $6 — the path name, without the leading slash. slash left the chat 💀
