man WWW::Shorten::Linkz () - Perl interface to lin.kz

NAME

WWW::Shorten::Linkz - Perl interface to lin.kz

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Shorten 'Linkz';

  $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

  $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);
  $long_url  = makealongerlink($nickname);

DESCRIPTION

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

The function CWmakeashorterlink will call the lin.kz web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter (Linkz) version.

The function CWmakealongerlink does the reverse. CWmakealongerlink will accept as an argument either the full Linkz URL or just the Linkz identifier/nickname.

If anything goes wrong, then either function will return CWundef.

Multiple submissions of the same URL will result in different codes being returned.

EXPORT

makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
