Utility software is system software designed to help analyze, configure, optimize or maintain a computer.[1] It is used to support the computer infrastructure in contrast to application software, which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users.
Although a basic set of utility programs is usually distributed with an operating system (OS), utility software is not considered part of the operating system, and users often install replacements or additional utilities.

uri::url
URI::URL(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation URI::URL(3)
NAME
URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators
SYNOPSIS
$u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base);
$u2 = $u1->abs;
DESCRIPTION
This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to
be distributed with the libwww-perl library.
The following differences compared to the "URI" class interface exist:
o The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface.
o The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclasses of "URI::WithBase".
o The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs
o URI::URL::strict(1)
o $url->print_on method
o $url->crack method
o $url->full_path; same as ($uri->abs_path || "/")
o $url->netloc; same as $uri->authority
o $url->epath, $url->equery; same as $uri->path, $uri->query
o $url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings.
o $url->path_components; same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters).
o $url->params and $url->eparams methods.
o $url->base method. See URI::WithBase.
o $url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase.
o $url->frag; same as $uri->fragment
o $url->keywords; same as $uri->query_keywords;
o $url->localpath with friends map to $uri->file
o $url->address and $url->encoded822addr; same as $uri->to for mailto URI.
o $url->groupart method for news URI.
o $url->article; same as $uri->message
