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