  Description     : Perl module to normalize URIs according to RFC 3986

Section 6 of RFC 3986 describes a process of URI normalization. URI::Normalize
implements syntax-based normalization and may include some schema-based and
protocol-based normalization. This includes implementing the
remove_dot_segments algorithm described in Section 5.2.3 of the RFC.

This has a number of useful applications in allowing URIs to be compared with
fewer false negatives.

This package is new dependency of next lemonldap-ng and provides a
security improvement in it. It will be maintain under Pkg-Perl umbrella.
