SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Shorten::TinyURL;
  use WWW::Shorten 'TinyURL';
  $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

DESCRIPTION

A Perl interface to the web site tinyurl.com. TinyURL simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.

Functions

makeashorterlink

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

makealongerlink

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

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

EXPORT

makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
