PURL

A simple Perl URL shortener.

I created this URL-shortener to learn some Perl, and because I always wanted to create my own URL-shortener.

I use Nginx as my web-proxy, and run the cgi-scripts through fcgiwrap. See nginx.conf for example-configuration.

Since Nginx uses www-data as its default user, I’ve granted this user access to the PostgreSQL-database.
