DESCRIPTION

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

Functions

makeashorterlink

The function makeashorterlink will call the Qwer web site passing it your long URL and a mandatory short code. It will return the shorter Qwer version of the URL.

makealongerlink

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

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