DESCRIPTION
A Perl interface to the web service SmLnk.com. SmLnk maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier or nickname.
The function makeashorterlink
will call the SmLnk web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter SmLnk version.
The function makealongerlink
does the reverse. makealongerlink
will accept as an argument either the full SmLnk URL or just the SmLnk identifier.
If anything goes wrong, then either function will return undef
.
EXPORT
makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
