Regexp::Common::URI (3pm)

    use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

    while (<>) {
        /$RE{URI}{HTTP}/       and  print "Contains an HTTP URI.\n";
    }

Patterns for the following URIs are supported: fax, file, \s-1FTP\s0, gopher, \s-1HTTP\s0, news, \s-1NTTP\s0, pop, prospero, tel, telnet, tv and \s-1WAIS\s0. Each is documented in the Regexp::Common::URI::scheme, manual page, for the appropriate scheme (in lowercase), except for \s-1NNTP\s0 URIs which are found in Regexp::Common::URI::news. Return a pattern that recognizes any of the supported URIs. With \*(C`{-keep}\*(C', only the entire \s-1URI\s0 is returned (in $1).
