NAME

shorten - CLI program to demonstrate use of WWW::Shorten

SYNOPSIS

% shorten books.perl.org/book/171
http://tinyclick.com/?2x6nss

# Or, if you specify a different service in your config file

% shorten books.perl.org/book/171
http://snurl.com/xc3

CONFIGURATION

As we use the Config::Auto module for configuration, shorten's fairly flexible when it comes to format.

Configuration will be found in whichever of the following files comes first.

shortenconfig
~/shortenconfig
/etc/shortenconfig
shorten.config
~/shorten.config
/etc/shorten.config
shortenrc
~/shortenrc
/etc/shortenrc
.shortenrc
~/.shortenrc
/etc/.shortenrc

Generally, I use the format:

service = MakeAShorterLink

which is simple and works. service is the only configuration keyword at present. Its value should be a correctly capitalized service name as per WWW::Shorten's documentation.

BUGS, REQUESTS, COMMENTS

Please report any requests, suggestions or bugs via the system at http://rt.cpan.org/, or email <bug-WWW-Shorten@rt.cpan.org>. This makes it much easier for me to track things and thus means your problem is less likely to be neglected.
