    # Result:
    # </TheBook/Chapter/2>; rel="previous", </TheBook/Chapter/4>; rel="next"

parse

Parses a Link-header field a returns all founded links as a list of HashRefs.

    my @links = HTTP::Link->parse(<<EOT);
    </TheBook/Chapter/2>; rel="previous", </TheBook/Chapter/4>; rel="next"
    EOT
    # Result:
    @links = ({
        iri => '/TheBook/Chapter/2',

    </TheBook/Chapter/2>; rel="previous", </TheBook/Chapter/4>; rel="next"
    EOT
    # Result:
    %links = (
        '/TheBook/Chapter/2' => {
