NAME

WWW::Shorten::QuickOnes - Perl interface to quickones.org

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Shorten::QuickOnes;

  use WWW::Shorten 'QuickOnes';

  $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

  $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);

DESCRIPTION

A Perl interface to the web site quickones.org. QuickOnes simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.

The function makeashorterlink will call the QuickOnes web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter QuickOnes version.

The function makealongerlink does the reverse. makealongerlink will accept as an argument either the full QuickOnes URL or just the QuickOnes identifier.

If anything goes wrong, then either function will return undef.

EXPORT

makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
