NAME
       WWW::Shorten::Metamark - Perl interface to metamark.net

SYNOPSIS
	 use WWW::Shorten::Metamark;

	 use WWW::Shorten 'Metamark';

	 $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

	 $long_url  = makealongerlink($short_url);

DESCRIPTION
       A Perl interface to the web site metamark.net. Metamark simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.

Functions
   makeashorterlink
       The function "makeashorterlink" will call the Metamark web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter Metamark version.

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

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

   EXPORT
       makeashorterlink, makealongerlink

SUPPORT, LICENCE, THANKS and SUCH
       See the main WWW::Shorten docs.
