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