Question

Suppose I have:

my $a = "http://site.com";
my $part = "index.html";
my $full = join($a,$part);
print $full;
>> http://site.com/index.html

What do I have to use as join, in order to get my snippet to work?

EDIT: I’m looking for something more general. What if a ends with a slash, and part starts with one? I’m sure in some module, someone has this covered.

Answer 1

I believe what you’re looking for is URI::Split, e.g.:

use URI::Split qw(uri_join);
$uri = uri_join('http', 'site.com', 'index.html')
