SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Shorten::ShortLink;
use WWW::Shorten 'ShortLink';
$short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);
$long_url = makealongerlink($short_url);DESCRIPTION
A Perl interface to the web site shortlink.us, a site that maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.
The function makeashorterlink will call the ShortLink web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter ShortLink version.
The function makealongerlink does the reverse. makealongerlink will accept as an argument either the full ShortLink URL or just the ShortLink identifier.
If anything goes wrong, then either function will return undef.
EXPORT
