I prefer absolute(), though I originally called it  absolutely(;-)

Are you sure that URL should be an object?  That seems like an awful
lot of overhead for a piece of data, and the behaviour is not really
object-like.  Wouldn't a data structure be more appropriate?
I know it would be in C++, but am not sure about perl5.
