DESCRIPTION

A Perl interface to the web site 1sl.net. OneShortLink simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.

Functions

makeashorterlink

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

makealongerlink

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

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