NAME

   WWW::Shorten::VGd - Shorten URLs using https://v.gd/

SYNOPSIS

     use strict;
     use warnings;

     use WWW::Shorten::VGd;
     # use WWW::Shorten 'VGd';  # or, this way

     my $short_url = makeashorterlink('http://www.foo.com/some/long/url');
     my $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);

DESCRIPTION

   A Perl interface to the web site https://v.gd/. The service simply
   maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique
   identifier.

   By default, this URL shortening service will show you a preview page
   before redirecting you. This can be turned off by setting a cookie at
   https://v.gd/previews.php.

FUNCTIONS

makeashorterlink

   The function makeashorterlink will call the https://v.gd/ web site
   passing it your long URL and will return the shorter version.

makealongerlink

   The function makealongerlink does the reverse. makealongerlink will
   accept as an argument either the full URL or just the identifier.

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