shorten - CLI program to demonstrate use of WWW::Shorten
% 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
As we use the Config::Auto module for configuration, shorten's fairly flexible when it comes to format.
Config::Auto
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.
service
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.
