+=head1 NAME
+
+URI::Escape - Percent-encode and percent-decode unsafe characters
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use URI::Escape;
+ $safe = uri_escape("10% is enough\n");
+ $verysafe = uri_escape("foo", "\0-\377");
+ $str = uri_unescape($safe);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module provides functions to percent-encode and percent-decode URI strings as
+defined by RFC 3986. Percent-encoding URI's is informally called "URI escaping".
+This is the terminology used by this module, which predates the formalization of the
+terms by the RFC by several years.
+
+A URI consists of a restricted set of characters. The restricted set
+of characters consists of digits, letters, and a few graphic symbols
+chosen from those common to most of the character encodings and input
+facilities available to Internet users. They are made up of the
+"unreserved" and "reserved" character sets as defined in RFC 3986.
+
+ unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
+ reserved = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@"
+ "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")"
+ / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="
+
+In addition, any byte (octet) can be represented in a URI by an escape
+sequence: a triplet consisting of the character "%" followed by two
+hexadecimal digits. A byte can also be represented directly by a
+character, using the US-ASCII character for that octet.
+
+Some of the characters are I<reserved> for use as delimiters or as
+part of certain URI components. These must be escaped if they are to
+be treated as ordinary data. Read RFC 3986 for further details.
+
+The functions provided (and exported by default) from this module are:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item uri_escape( $string )
+
+=item uri_escape( $string, $unsafe )
+
+Replaces each unsafe character in the $string with the corresponding
+escape sequence and returns the result. The $string argument should
+be a string of bytes. The uri_escape() function will croak if given a
+characters with code above 255. Use uri_escape_utf8() if you know you
+have such chars or/and want chars in the 128 .. 255 range treated as
+UTF-8.
+
+The uri_escape() function takes an optional second argument that
+overrides the set of characters that are to be escaped. The set is
+specified as a string that can be used in a regular expression
+character class (between [ ]). E.g.:
+
+ "\x00-\x1f\x7f-\xff" # all control and hi-bit characters
+ "a-z" # all lower case characters
+ "^A-Za-z" # everything not a letter
+
+The default set of characters to be escaped is all those which are
+I<not> part of the C<unreserved> character class shown above as well
+as the reserved characters. I.e. the default is:
+
+ "^A-Za-z0-9\-\._~"
+
+=item uri_escape_utf8( $string )
+
+=item uri_escape_utf8( $string, $unsafe )
+
+Works like uri_escape(), but will encode chars as UTF-8 before
+escaping them. This makes this function able to deal with characters
+with code above 255 in $string. Note that chars in the 128 .. 255
+range will be escaped differently by this function compared to what
+uri_escape() would. For chars in the 0 .. 127 range there is no
+difference.
+
+Equivalent to:
+
+ utf8::encode($string);
+ my $uri = uri_escape($string);
+
+Note: JavaScript has a function called escape() that produces the
+sequence "%uXXXX" for chars in the 256 .. 65535 range. This function
+has really nothing to do with URI escaping but some folks got confused
+since it "does the right thing" in the 0 .. 255 range. Because of
+this you sometimes see "URIs" with these kind of escapes. The
+JavaScript encodeURIComponent() function is similar to uri_escape_utf8().
+
+=item uri_unescape($string,...)
+
+Returns a string with each %XX sequence replaced with the actual byte
+(octet).
+
+This does the same as:
+
+ $string =~ s/%([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/chr(hex($1))/eg;
+
+but does not modify the string in-place as this RE would. Using the
+uri_unescape() function instead of the RE might make the code look
+cleaner and is a few characters less to type.
+
+In a simple benchmark test I did,
+calling the function (instead of the inline RE above) if a few chars
+were unescaped was something like 40% slower, and something like 700% slower if none were. If
+you are going to unescape a lot of times it might be a good idea to
+inline the RE.
+
+If the uri_unescape() function is passed multiple strings, then each
+one is returned unescaped.
+

+
+The module can also export the C<%escapes> hash, which contains the
+mapping from all 256 bytes to the corresponding escape codes. Lookup
+in this hash is faster than evaluating C<sprintf("%%%02X", ord($byte))>
+each time.
