| Subject: | Another Short Link Service |
I put together a short link server (http://1sl.net). The attached patch file "works for me" for adding and retrieving URLs.
Let me know if you have questions / problems.
thanks.

+=head1 NAME
+
+WWW::Shorten::OneShortLink - Perl interface to 1sl.net
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use WWW::Shorten::OneShortLink;
+
+ use WWW::Shorten 'OneShortLink';
+
+ $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);
+
+ $long_url = makealongerlink($short_url);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+A Perl interface to the web site 1sl.net. OneShortLink simply maintains
+a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.
+
+The function C<makeashorterlink> will call the OneShortLink web site passing it
+your long URL and will return the shorter OneShortLink version.
+
+The function C<makealongerlink> does the reverse. C<makealongerlink>
+will accept as an argument either the full OneShortLink URL or just the
+OneShortLink identifier.
+
+If anything goes wrong, then either function will return C<undef>.
+
+=head2 EXPORT
+
+makeashorterlink, makealongerlink
+

+
+See the main L<WWW::Shorten> docs.
