SHORTEN(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation SHORTEN(1) NAME shorten - CLI program to demonstrate use of WWW::Shorten SYNOPSIS # Default shortening service is Metamark $ shorten books.perl.org/book/171 http://xrl.us/dv8 # Change with an environment variable $ SHORTEN_SERVICE=TinyURL shorten books.perl.org/book/171 http://tinyurl.com/ye7gjf4 # Change with command line option $ shorten --service=TinyURL books.perl.org/book/171 http://tinyurl.com/ye7gjf4 # Change using config file $ cat ~/.shortenrc service = TinyURL $ shorten books.perl.org/book/171 http://tinyurl.com/ye7gjf4 # Lengthen a URL $ shorten -l http://tinyurl.com/ye7gjf4 CONFIGURATION The service used can be controlled in various ways. The program will use the first of the following values that it finds: • The value of the "--service" command line option. • The value of the "SHORTEN_SERVICE" environment variable. • The value of the "service" option from the configuration file (see below). • If none of the above options is found, the program defaults to using Metamark. CONFIGURATION FILE As we use the "Config::Auto" module for configuration, shorten's fairly flexible when it comes to format. Configuration will be found in whichever of the following files comes first. shortenconfig ~/shortenconfig /etc/shortenconfig shorten.config ~/shorten.config /etc/shorten.config shortenrc ~/shortenrc /etc/shortenrc .shortenrc ~/.shortenrc /etc/.shortenrc Generally, I use the format: service = MakeAShorterLink which is simple and works. "service" is the only configuration keyword at present. Its value should be a correctly capitalized service name as per WWW::Shorten's documentation.
