NAME

WWW::Shorten::ISSM - Perl interface to issm.tk

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Shorten::ISSM;
  use WWW::Shorten 'ISSM';

  $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

  $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);

DESCRIPTION

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

Functions

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

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

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

EXPORT

makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
