    WebService::NoPaste - Post to Paste Web Pages

SYNOPSIS

Top

    # Manually paste input, manually copy the result url:
    $ nopaste

    # Turbo mode: use clipboard as input, send, and then put the result
    # URL back into the clipboard:
    $ nopaste cp

    # Just take the input from the clipboard, but otherwise leave the
    # clipboard alone:
    $ nopaste c

    # Instantly upload your passwd file for the whole world to see, but
    # at least you'll have the result URL conveniently in your
    # clipboard.
    $ nopaste p < /etc/passwd

DESCRIPTION

Top

    When online chatting it is problematic to paste an entire 300 line
    file.  Yes paste?  No.  NoPaste!

    Posting to a paste host is preferred.  These servers are just web
    forms that accept input from a big text field, and temporarily house
    them as web pages.

    This script/module is for those who find it tedious to switch to a
    web browser, load the page, and then paste.  Why use the mouse when
    you can use the keyboard? ;)

CONFIGURATION

Top

    Currently, you just edit "nopaste" itself to point it at a different
    server, to change languages (which only affects the way the HTML
    formatting syntax highlights), etc.

    This is lame, I know.  But it's early.  If you'd like neater
    configuration, email me, and I'll get right to it.
