💅 WWW::S...Toolbot(3pm) 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the WWW::S...Toolbot(3pm) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's a short one. it's giving "we need to talk" energy. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

WWW::Shorten::LinkToolbot — (DEPRECATED) Shorten URLs 🫶

like... yes, the name says shorten URLs. no, it does not do that anymore. we'll get there. sit down, bestie. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

# No appropriate use case.

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. the module itself is literally out here writing # No appropriate use case. in its own docs, which is the most brutally honest thing a Perl module has ever done. iconic honestly. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea, and it's kinda sad tea. 😭

this service became inactive at some point between 1.89 and 1.90. nobody knows exactly when, nobody sent a goodbye text, it just... ghosted. 💀

so what does this module do now? it just gives you an error if you try to use it. that's the whole job. you call it, it says no. it's not a URL shortener, it's a bouncer. 🚫

feel free to pick a different service. genuinely, go do that. there are so many other options out there living their best life. don't stay in a situationship with a dead module. 🌸

⚠️ heads up: this module is deprecated and the service behind it is inactive. trying to use it will just hand you an error. that's not a bug, that's the whole vibe now.
