URL::Find

SUBTITLE

A Perl 6 module to find all the URL's in a set of text.

DESCRIPTION

By default it will match domain names that use unicode characters such as http://правительство.рф. To only match ASCII domains use the :ascii option. It will also find URL's that end in one of the restricted characters, so https://www.google.com, will pull out https://www.google.com. It will find all the URL's in a text by default, or you can specify a maximum number with the :limit option. By default it will only find http, https, ftp, git and ssh schemes, but you can specify :any<1> to match any schemes with legal characters..
