NAME
    Net::Twitter - Perl interface to twitter.com

VERSION
    This document describes Net::Twitter version 1.03

SYNOPSIS
       #!/usr/bin/perl

       use Net::Twitter;

       my $twit = Net::Twitter->new(username=>"myuser", password=>"mypass" );

       $result = $twit->update("My current Status");

       $twit->credentials("otheruser", "otherpass");

       $result = $twit->update("Status for otheruser");

DESCRIPTION
    http://www.twitter.com provides a web 2.0 type of ubiquitous presence.
    This module allows you to set your status, as well as the statuses of
    your friends.

    You can view the latest status of Net::Twitter on it's own twitter
    timeline at http://twitter.com/net_twitter

INTERFACE
    Net::Twitter exports the following methods.

    "new(...)"
        You must supply a hash containing the configuration for the
        connection.

        Valid configuration items are:

        "username"
            Username of your account at twitter.com. This is usually your
            email address. REQUIRED.

        "password"
            Password of your account at twitter.com. REQUIRED.

        "apiurl"
            OPTIONAL. The URL of the API for twitter.com. This defaults to
            "http://twitter.com/statuses" if not set.

        "apihost"
        "apirealm"
            OPTIONAL: If you do point to a different URL, you will also need
            to set "apihost" and "apirealm" so that the internal LWP can
            authenticate.

            "apihost" defaults to "www.twitter.com:80".

            "apirealm" defaults to "Twitter API".

    "credentials($username, $password, $apihost, $apiurl)"
        Change the credentials for logging into twitter. This is helpful
        when managing multiple accounts.

        "apirealm" and "apihost" are optional and will default to the
        standard twitter versions if omitted.

    "update($status)"
        Set your current status. This returns a hashref containing your most
        recent status. Returns undef if an error occurs.

    "friends()"
        This returns a hashref containing the most recent status of those
        you have marked as friends in twitter. Returns undef if an error
        occurs.

    "friends_timeline()"
        This returns a hashref containing the timeline of those you have
        marked as friends in twitter. Returns undef if an error occurs.

    "public_timeline()"
        This returns a hashref containing the public timeline of all twitter
        users. Returns undef if an error occurs.

    "followers()"
        This returns a hashref containing the timeline of those who follow
        your status in twitter.. Returns undef if an error occurs.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
    Net::Twitter uses LWP internally. Any environment variables that LWP
    supports should be supported by Net::Twitter. I hope.

DEPENDENCIES
    LWP::UserAgent
    JSON::Syck (preferred) or JSON

INCOMPATIBILITIES
    None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
    No bugs have been reported.

AUTHOR

    The framework of this module is shamelessly stolen from Net::AIML. Big
    ups to Chris "perigrin" Prather for that.

    The fallback code to load JSON or JSON::Syck is also from Chris Prather.
