Well no one has written PerlIO::URL yet so all you get is:
nick@dromedary 507$ cd /home/perl5/perlio
nick@dromedary 508$ ./perl -Ilib -e
'open(BLAH,">:URL","mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]") || die $!'
Can't locate PerlIO/URL.pm in @INC (@INC contains: lib
/usr/local/perl/lib/5.7.0/i686-linux-multi /usr/local/perl/lib/5.7.0
/usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5.7.0/i686-linux-multi
/usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5.7.0
/usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux-multi
/usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 1) line

perlio: unknown layer "URL".
Of course they might want to write it in perl so that would be:
nick@dromedary 509$ ./perl -Ilib -e
'open(BLAH,">:Via(URL)","mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]") || die $!'
Cannot find package 'URL'.
Attempt to free unreferenced scalar.
Died.
Which shows a buglet ...
and now I have mailto:santa.claus.pole which shows that I meant
"mailto:santa.claus\@north.pole" anyway ...
