Thanks for pointing out the missing escape, but that isn't the real problem.
Following your response, I did a little more testing...
It turns out that because the example used a schema of 'foo:', the URI.pm
did not 'know' how to decode this and therefore generated the
"can't locate method 'host'" error/warning. When I changed the schema
to something like 'http', it successfully finds the host() method and
returns
a correct value (...provided I escape the @).
Is this the expected behavior when there is an 'unknown' schema?
Does URI.pm only support 'known' schemas?
Thanks for your assistance.
