=head1 NAME

WWW::Mechanize::Link - Link object for WWW::Mechanize

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Link object to encapsulate all the stuff that Mech needs but nobody
wants to deal with as an array.

=head1 Constructor

=head2 new()

    my $link = WWW::Mechanize::Link->new( {
        url  => $url,
        text => $text,
        name => $name,
        tag  => $tag,
        base => $base,
        attr => $attr_href,
    } );

For compatibility, this older interface is also supported:

 new( $url, $text, $name, $tag, $base, $attr_href )

Creates and returns a new C<WWW::Mechanize::Link> object.

sub new {

        $self = [ @{$_[0]}{ qw( url text name tag base attrs ) } ];
    }
    else {

    }
