URI uses overloading of " to allow stringification of objects to 
URL's just by putting them in quotes (i.e. "$url" does what you think 
it will, even though $url is an object).  It works under MacPerl, so 
far as I know.  I'd guess that there's a test for it, and we know the 
tests pass (aside from one that fails only because of an ignorable 
difference between Unix and MacOS file syntax).
