Just gave the b7 version a test-drive (with perl 5.002b3) on Solaris
2.4. 

A fairly large number of tests gave FAILED states. I didn't try to
solve those yet. In fact, I'm not sure why the tests failed in the
first place.

When trying b7 with checkbot, I got the following error:

Can't locate object method "abs" via package "URI::URL::mailto" at ./checkbot line 387, <DATA> chunk 8.

The description of URI::URL seems to indicate that abs() can be used
on all URL's, so I was a bit surprised by this. Is this a bug in b7,
or an oversight of mine?
