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