Re: Standardizng URLs

[Anonymous Monk]

Hi, I'm a beginner in perl and I have looked all over for ways in Perl to make URLs standardized. In other words, I'm looking to create a small program to check a string (with url) and then change any URL form of mywebsite.org, www.mywebsite.org or http://mywebsite.org to the standard form http://www.mywebsite.org, no matter what the domain name. Any advice on the best way to do this will be appreciated.

If I said the best way was split would you believe me?

See perlintro#Simple matching, URI, Mojo::URL , Badger::URL...

at least read http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?URI#PARSING_URIs_WITH_REGEXP because it shows the official regex to use for this if you aren't going to use the URI module

See also Regexp::Common::URI, URI::QueryParam,URI::Query, CGI, URI::PathAbstract and site:perlmonks.org URI:: OR URI-
