man WWW::Shorten::SmLnk () - Perl interface to SmLnk.com

NAME

WWW::Shorten::SmLnk - Perl interface to SmLnk.com

  use WWW::Shorten::SmLnk;

  use WWW::Shorten 'SmLnk';

  $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

  $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);

A Perl interface to the web service SmLnk.com. SmLnk maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier or nickname.

The function CWmakeashorterlink will call the SmLnk web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter SmLnk version.

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

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

makeashorterlink, makealongerlink

See the main WWW::Shorten docs.
