I'll managed to reduce it to the following test case.  I still don't
understand what is happening.  It is something strange with the third
URL and it only happens if we create some other type of URL as number 2.

---------
$ cat uri.t
$url = new URI::URL 'http://www/';   die if $url eq "x";
$url = new URI::URL 'file://ftp/';   die if $url eq "x";
$url = new URI::URL "http://www/";   die if $url eq "x";

$ perl -MURI::URL uri.t 
Operation `eq': no method found,
        left argument in overloaded package URI::URL::http,
        right argument has no overloaded magic at uri.t line 3.

$ perl -v

This is perl, version 5.003_21
