=head1 NAME
WWW::Shorten::Googl - Perl interface to L
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Shorten::Googl; # OR
# use WWW::Shorten 'Googl';
# $ENV{GOOGLE_API_KEY} should be set
my $url = 'http://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Shorten::Googl';
my $short_url = makeashorterlink($url);
my $long_url = makealongerlink($short_url);
# Note - this function is specific to the Googl shortener
my $stats = getlinkstats( $short_url );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A Perl interface to the L URL shortening service. Googl simply maintains
a database of long URLs, each of which has a unique identifier.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 makeashorterlink
The function C will call the Googl web site passing
it your long URL and will return the shorter Googl version.
If you provide your Google username and password, the link will be added
to your list of shortened URLs at L.
See AUTHENTICATION for details.
=head2 makealongerlink
The function C does the reverse. C
will accept as an argument either the full URL or just the identifier.
=head2 getlinkstats
Given a L URL, returns a hash ref with statistics about the URL.
See L
for information on which data can be present in this hash ref.
=head1 AUTHENTICATION
To use this shorten service, you'll first need to setup an
L.
Once you have that key setup, you will need to set the C environment
variable to use that key.
