SYNOPSIS

    use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

    }

DESCRIPTION

$RE{URI}{POP}

                  host [ ":" port ]

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

$1: The complete URI.
$2: The scheme.
$3: The user, if given.
$4: The authentication type, if given (could be a *).
$5: The host.
$6: The port, if given.
