I hope I understand your question correctly, if I have missed the point msg me or follow up and I will try and help some more.

Its coded in the url http://<Host:Port>/Resource .. parse the url with a regexp or use URI::URL Which is part of libwww-perl I have not used URI::URL before but a quick search finds that it has been mentioned on pm lots of times .. checkout super search search for URI::URL.

You are looking for something like (ripped from the pod)

use URI::URL;
$url = new URI::URL 'http://www.perl.com/%Euser/gisle.gif';
# Retrieving Network location (netloc) components:
 $user     = $url->user;
 $password = $url->password;
 $host     = $url->host;
 $port     = $url->port;   # returns default if not defined

There are lots of other permutations so take a look at the links above.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
