🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

no thoughts, just vibes, and also this exact code:

use strict;
use warnings;

use WWW::Shorten::5gp;
# use WWW::Shorten '5gp';  # or, this way

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this is a Perl interface to the web site <http://5.gp>. that's the whole concept. the service just keeps a database of long URLs, and every single one of them gets its own unique identifier. like a lil name tag for your link. obsessed. 💖

👑 FUNCTIONS 👑

🎀 makeashorterlink

the function makeashorterlink will call the <http://5gp> web site, hand it your long URL, and return the shorter version back to you. it's giving glow-up. it's giving transformation arc. your URL walked in long and walked out snatched. 🔥

🎀 makealongerlink

the function makealongerlink does the reverse, bestie. makealongerlink will accept as an argument either the full URL or just the identifier — your choice, no pressure, main character freedom. 💅

⚠️ if anything goes wrong, then either function will return undef. so like, check your return value, okay? don't be out here building your whole app on undef and then acting surprised. 💀
