+# 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.
