TinyURL simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier. The function C will call the TinyURL web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter TinyURL version. The function C does the reverse. C will accept as an argument either the full TinyURL URL or just the TinyURL identifier. If anything goes wrong, then either function will return C. =head2 EXPORT makeashorterlink, makealongerlink =head1 SUPPORT, LICENCE, THANKS and SUCH See the main L docs. =head1 AUTHOR Iain Truskett =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L =cut
