=head1 NAME

uf_uristr - Expand URI using heuristics

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use URI::Heuristic qw(uf_uristr);
 $u = uf_uristr("perl");             # http://www.perl.com
 $u = uf_uristr("www.sol.no/sol");   # http://www.sol.no/sol
 $u = uf_uristr("aas");              # http://www.aas.no
 $u = uf_uristr("ftp.funet.fi");     # ftp://ftp.funet.fi
 $u = uf_uristr("/etc/passwd");      # file:/etc/passwd

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides functions that expand strings into real absolute
URIs using some builtin heuristics.  Strings that already represent
absolute URIs (i.e. start with a C<scheme:> part) are never modified
and are returned unchanged.  The main use of these functions are to
allow abbreviated URIs similar to what many web browsers allow for URIs
typed in by the user.

The following functions are provided:

=over 4

=item uf_uristr($str)

The uf_uristr() function will try to make the string passed as argument 
into a proper absolute URI string.  The "uf_" prefix stands for "User 
Friendly".  Under MacOS, it assumes that any string with a common URL 
scheme (http, ftp, etc.) is a URL rather than a local path.  So don't name 
your volumes after common URL schemes and expect uf_uristr() to construct 
valid file: URL's on those volumes for you, because it won't.

=item uf_uri($str)

This functions work the same way as uf_uristr() but it will
return a C<URI> object.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

If the hostname portion of a URI does not contain any dots, then
certain qualified guesses will be made.  These guesses are governed be
the following two environment variables.

=over 10

=item COUNTRY

This is the two letter country code (ISO 3166) for your location.  If
the domain name of your host ends with two letters, then it is taken
to be the default country. See also L<Locale::Country>.

=item URL_GUESS_PATTERN

Contain a space separated list of URL patterns to try.  The string
"ACME" is for some reason used as a placeholder for the host name in
the URL provided.  Example:

 URL_GUESS_PATTERN="www.ACME.no www.ACME.se www.ACME.com"
 export URL_GUESS_PATTERN

Specifying URL_GUESS_PATTERN disables any guessing rules based on
country.  An empty URL_GUESS_PATTERN disables any guessing that
involves host name lookups.
