=head1 NAME WWW::Shorten::5gp - Perl interface to 5.gp - those are some short URLs! =head1 SYNOPSIS use WWW::Shorten '5gp'; $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url); $long_url = makealongerlink($short_url); =head1 DESCRIPTION A Perl interface to the web site 5.gp. 5gp simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier. 5.gp has the benefit of being pretty reliable (so far) as well as having a really tiny domain name. The domain name makes tinyurl.com seem to be not so tiny at all! =head1 Functions =head2 makeashorterlink The function C will call the 5gp web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter 5gp version. =head2 makealongerlink The function C does the reverse. C will accept as an argument either the full 5gp URL or just the 5gp identifier. If anything goes wrong, then either function will return C. =head2 EXPORT makeashorterlink, makealongerlink =head1 SUPPORT, THANKS and SUCH See the main L docs. =head1 LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2015 by Michiel Beijen.
