hastebin shell client

hastebin.sh

#!/bin/bash

server='hastebin.com';

usage="$0 pastes into $server
  usage: $0 something
  example: '$0 pie' or 'ps aufx |$0'"

if [ -z $1 ]; then 
  str=`cat /dev/stdin`;
else 
  str=$1;
fi

if [ -z "$str" ]; then
  echo $usage;
  exit 1;
fi

output=`curl -s -X POST -d "$str" $server/documents |perl -pi -e 's|.+:\"(.+)\"}|$1|'`

echo $server/$output

Suggestion: Add the http:// prefix to the output as it makes the link clickable in some terminals. Example: http://hastebin.com/uyemorejay

Doesn't work :(
