The POD for URI does not explain why this regex is "official"; in any case, it does not match correctly mailto: URIs. But my regexes did not count fragments, so they were not quite right either. New version follows: 
sub url_segments {
  local($_) = @_;
  my $uri_re = qr{
    (?:
      ([a-z]{3,6})                      # proto
      :
      (?: // )?
    )?
    (                                   # authority
      (?:
        ([a-z0-9_-]+)                   # user
        (?: : ([^@]+) )? @              # password
      )?
      ( [a-z0-9._-]+ )                  # domain
      (?: : (\d+) )?                    # port
    )
    (?:
      (                                 # path
        ( .*? / )                       # location
        (                               # filename
          ( [^?#/]*? )                  # filename_only
          ( (?: \. \w*[a-z]\w* )* )     # ext
        )
      )
      (?: \? ( [^#]* ) )?               # query
      (?: \# ( .* ) )?                  # fragment
    )?
  }xi;
  my @matches = /\A($uri_re)\Z/;
  return unless @matches;
  my $segments;
  my @parts = qw(uri proto authority user pass domain port
    path location filename filename_only ext query frag);
  $matches[$_] and
    push @$segments, { $parts[$_] => $matches[$_] } for 0 .. $#parts;
  $segments
}

Works quite reliably in preliminary tests :-)
Update: oops, a "?" was missing in the password line. fixed.
