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
