Just started to integrate twitter into my own CMS written in Perl. I use a very old Perl version, because only this old version is compatible to use MSIE as GUI.
To use the API, Perl engages a download program by a batch file. Just right now, I only test with the http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.xml No other call is used. But from start to start, there are less hits remaining in the rate limit, Up to 10 less when I wait some minutes. I have no idea what consumes my rate limit I already closed Twitter in all browsers, but still the same effect. Any idea what could use up my rate limit?
