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.

I really find it difficult to understand documentation how to code a
TWITTER-API in perl. But with a bit "start-help", I think I'll be able
to proceed.
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
