NAME
WWW::Shorten::Tinylink - Perl interface to Tinylink.com
SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Shorten 'Tinylink';
$short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);
$long_url = makealongerlink($short_url);
$long_url = makealongerlink($nickname);DESCRIPTION
A Perl interface to the web site Tinylink.com. Tinylink.com simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.
The function makeashorterlink will call the Tinylink.com web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter (tinylink) version.
The function makealongerlink does the reverse. makealongerlink will accept as an argument either the full Tinylink URL or just the Tinylink identifier/nickname.
If anything goes wrong, then either function will return undef.
Multiple submissions of the same URL will result in different codes being returned.
EXPORT
makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
