=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.

=head1 TODO

=over

=item * Not tested with simultaneous lookups

=item * User-configurable timeout

=item * some sort of list of shorteners? (saves having to look up every single url)
