#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use URI::URL;

print "1..4\n";

my $url_text = '/yatta/yatta/yatta';
my $url = URI::URL->new($url_text);

sub test_match {
  my ($number, $url) = @_;
  print "not " unless $url =~ /^\Q$url_text\E$/;
  print "ok $number\n";
}

print "not " unless ref($url) eq 'URI::URL';
print "ok 1\n";

&test_match(2, $url);

$url = $url . '';

&test_match(3, $url);

print "ok 4\n";

exit;
__END__


URI::URL version 5.02


1..4
ok 1
not ok 2
ok 3
ok 4


Confirmed on perl 5.6.0, also with URI::URL 5.02
