+=head1 NAME

+longify-urls.pl
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Checks channel messages for 'shortened' links, and expands them to their
+final target address.
+
+=head1 INSTALLATION
+
+=over
+
+=item Download the modules from L<http://mauke.dyndns.org/stuff/irssi/lib/IrssiX/>
+and place them in a directory known to Perl (One of the default system locations
+for perl modules, or somewhere that is listed in the C<$PERL5LIB> environment variable).
+They should be placed in a subdirectory named C<IrssiX> in whichever module directory
+you choose.
+
+=item Copy this script into your F<~/.irssi/scripts/> directory and load with
+C</SCRIPT LOAD F<filename>>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 USAGE
+
+Load it.
+
+B<Note:> The lookup to check if a link is shortened runs in the background, so it
+won't affect the running of Irssi, but the message containing the link is queued
+until either a response comes back, or the timeout (~2 seconds) is hit.
