URI Issue / Question

[The Morsbergers]

I was unable to install and test the URI module v1.12 on a Compaq Tru64
host, Perl version 5.004_04.

The data and mailto tests were failing.

I changed line 85 in URI.pm from

   if (!$scheme || $scheme !~ /\A$scheme_re\z/o) {

to

   if (!$scheme || $scheme !~ /\A$scheme_re\Z/o) {

Out of curiosity, why was \A and \Z used instead of ^ and $?
