Yes, your point about not adding more requirements is a good one. I may still do the overkill SOAP one in addition as one of the goals of the notlong site is to be a simple showcase. Show quoted text

Thanks! Minor feedback: - The man page for WWW::Shorten still only mentions the original three: use WWW::Shorten 'MakeAShorterLink'; use WWW::Shorten 'Shorl'; use WWW::Shorten 'TinyURL'; - The man page for SnipURL lists this option: ($short_url,$password) = makeashorterlink($long_url); I don't think SnipURL has the ability to return a password. - I get a couple warnings when I "make test": t/notlong.........ok 1/6"my" variable $notlong masks earlier declaration in same scope at t/notlong.t line 33. t/shorl...........ok 1/5"my" variable $shorl masks earlier declaration in same scope at t/shorl.t line 26. -- Eric Hammond ehammond@thinksome.com

Heh. Fair enough =) It's half the reason I do a number of things. Show quoted text

Um. No, it doesn't. It's got lots of other things. Shashank's emailed me about some changes which will go into 1.5. Thanks for mentioning WWW::Shorten to him. Show quoted text

Darnit. Too many tests, not enough scopes. Fixed. Thanks for those. Moral of the tale: don't try to write modules while at work =) http://perl.dellah.org/ cheers, -- Iain.
