NAME
       WWW::Shorten::Metamark - Perl interface to metamark.net


SYNOPSIS
         use WWW::Shorten::Metamark;

         use WWW::Shorten 'Metamark';

         $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

         $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);


DESCRIPTION
       A Perl interface to the web site metamark.net. Metamark simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of
       which has a unique identifier.


Functions
   makeashorterlink
       The function "makeashorterlink" will call the Metamark web site passing it your long URL and will return
       the shorter Metamark version.

   makealongerlink
       The function "makealongerlink" does the reverse. "makealongerlink" will accept as an argument either the
       full Metamark URL or just the Metamark identifier.

       If anything goes wrong, then either function will return "undef".

   EXPORT
       makeashorterlink, makealongerlink


SUPPORT, LICENCE, THANKS and SUCH
