WWW::Shorten::TinyURL - Perl interface to tinyurl.com
use WWW::Shorten::TinyURL; use WWW::Shorten 'TinyURL'; $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url); $long_url = makealongerlink($short_url);
A Perl interface to the web site tinyurl.com. TinyURL simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.
The function makeashorterlink will call the TinyURL web site passing
it your long URL and will return the shorter TinyURL version.
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.
makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
