=head1 NAME

WWW::Shorten::Linkz - Perl interface to lin.kz

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Shorten 'Linkz';

  $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

  $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);
  $long_url  = makealongerlink($nickname);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

The function C<makeashorterlink> will call the lin.kz web site
passing it your long URL and will return the shorter (Linkz) version.

The function C<makealongerlink> does the reverse. C<makealongerlink>
will accept as an argument either the full Linkz URL or just the
Linkz identifier/nickname.

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

Multiple submissions of the same URL will result in different codes
being returned.

=head2 EXPORT
