MakeAShorterLink - Perl interface to makeashorterlink.com

SYNOPSIS

  use MakeAShorterLink;

  my $short_url = makeashorterlink($long_url);

DESCRIPTION

A Perl interface to the web site makeashorterlink.com (MASL to its friends). MASL simply maintains a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.

MakeAShorterLink.pm will call the MASL web site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter MASL version.

If anything goes wrong, then the makeashorterlink function will return undef.
