URI::Find::Simple - a simple interface to URI::Find
Contents
Caveats, Bugs, Etc
The change_uris function is only just nicer than the callback interface. In some ways it's worse. I's
prefer to just pass an s/// operator somehow, but I don't think that's possible.
The list_uris function returns the stringified versions of the URI objects, this seemed to be the
sensible thing. To present a consistent interface, the change_uris function operates on these strings as
well, which are not the same as the strings actually present in the original. Therefore this code:
my $text = change_uris($text, sub { shift } );
may not return the same thing you pass it. URIs such as <URI:http://jerakeen.org> will be converted to
the string 'http://jerakeen.org'.

Description
URI::Find is all very well, but sometimes you just want a list of the links in a given piece of text, or
you want to change all the urls in some text somehow, and don't want to mess with callback interfaces.
This module uses URI::Find, but hides the callback interface, providing two functions - one to list all
the uris, and one to change all the uris.
list_uris(text)
returns a list of all the uris in the passed string, in the form output by the URI->as_string function,
not the form that they exist in the text.
change_uris(text,sub{code})
the passed sub is called for every found uri in the text, and it's return value is substituted into the
string. Returns the changed string.
