WWW::Shorten::5gp - Shorten URLs using <http://5.gp>
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Shorten::5gp;
# use WWW::Shorten '5gp'; # or, this way
my $short_url = makeashorterlink('http://www.foo.com/some/long/url');
my $long_url = makealongerlink($short_url);
A Perl interface to the web site <http://5.gp>. The service simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.
The function "makeashorterlink" will call the <http://5gp> 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".
