NAME

WWW::Shorten::TinyURL - Perl interface to https://tinyurl.com

SYNOPSIS

  use strict;
  use warnings;

  use WWW::Shorten::TinyURL;
  use WWW::Shorten 'TinyURL';

  my $short_url = makeashorterlink('https://www.foo.com/some/long/url');
  my $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);

DESCRIPTION

A Perl interface to the web site https://tinyurl.com. The service simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.

Functions

The function makeashorterlink will call the https://TinyURL.com web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter version.

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

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

EXPORT

makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
