WWW::Lengthen

The WWW::Lengthen Perl module is a great tool for lengthening shortened URLs. To use this module, simply add "use WWW::Lengthen" to your code and create an instance with "$lenghtener = WWW::Lenghten->new". From there, you can use the "try" method to lengthen a URL.

What's great about this module is that it works with all known shortening services by following the shortened URL and finding the redirect. This feature sets it apart from other modules like the WWW::Shorten family, which only work with specific shortening services.

However, spammers can use different shortening services to avoid detection, which complicates things. Thankfully, you can add unrecognized services using "$lengthener->add( ServiceName => qr{^} )" or add known extra services using "$lengthener->add( %WWW::Lengthen::ExtraServices )".

To sum it up, if you're tired of manually lengthening URLs, the WWW::Lengthen Perl module is a great time-saver.
