> For perl devs, the move to OAuth is really quite easy

Not for me it's not.

I'm not trying to write a full-featured Twitter client, just trying to
get my event calendar app to send a few tweets to a particular
account. I don't need mega-high security, I just need it to work.

I've registered at http://dev.twitter.com, filling in everything
except the "callback URL", cos I don't know what that is.

With some to-ing and fro-ing, I've managed to collect the four key
values and put each into a perl variable in my config file. I have set
the access level to "Read and Write". I've installed Net::OAuth on my
machine, and I've tried sending a tweet like this:

      my $tw = Net::Twitter::Lite->new(
          traits => [qw/OAuth API::REST/],
          consumer_key        => $TWITCONSKEY,
          consumer_secret     => $TWITCONSSEC,
          access_token        => $TWITACCTOK,
          access_token_secret => $TWITACCSEC,
      );
      my $result = $tw->update("$message");

It just comes back with "Read-only application cannot POST", even
though it isn't.

What do I do now?
