[twitter-dev] Re: basic help needed on connect to TWITTER and send a tweet with PERL
Twitter has a list of libraries that should help
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Libraries#Perl
Usually when I want to start working with an api in perl I check cpan
our first
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=twittermode=all
Most libraries in cpan will have some example code to get you going.

Can somebody help me with a sample PERL-code:
From within a PERL script ( which has two variables filled with
strings. names of those VARS are $VAR1, $VAR2) I want to
a) connect to twitter (lets assume username = test, password =
water)
b) send a tweet Hello world $VAR1 {space} $VAR2. This is my first
test tweet automatically posted from a perl script.
c) disconnect from twitter
Maybe you also can give a command-reference, something like perl
TWITTER API in a nutshell.
Very many thanks for your help, Alex

If you are looking to do something basic like that, then curl works
well. As a perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $VAR1=hello;
my $VAR2=bye bye;
my $response=`curl --basic --user test:water --data status=\aHello
world $VAR1 $VAR2. This is my first test tweet automatically posted from
a perl script\ http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml`;
print $response;
Naturally, if you want to start doing more complex stuff, especially
OAuth, then the CPAN libraries are an enormous help.
