and untainting easier and more readable.
All functions return an untainted value if the test passes, and undef if it
fails. This means that you should always check for a defined status
explicitly. Don't assume the return will be true.
The value to test is always the first (and often only) argument.
There are a number of other URI validation modules out there as well.
This one focuses on being fast, lightweight, and relatively 'real-world'.
i.e. it's good if you want to check user input, and don't need to parse
out the URI/URL into chunks.
Right now the module focuses on HTTP URIs, since they're arguably the most
common.
