  My first go at this was with Dr Forr, my long time Perl mentor and friend. While working together we convinced the boss, his brother, to open up our office as a lab for a series of open to the public classes, more or using the same format and overarching plan I've jotted down for this proposed…

• Commented on My First Twitter App
  Willem, Which program produces this error? You need to run oauth first, hit the URL it produces, paste in the code you get back and press enter. That should create the file the index.pl program uses. Did that help?...

• Posted My First Twitter App to corwin

  Today I finished my first twitter app. My main point in posting this entry is to talk about how wonderful is Perl, and in particular how fancy is Net::Twitter. If you already know these things you can safely stop reading now.

  1. LISP-stylee macros.

  2. Ability to have multiple versions of modules installed.

  @Willem (or, more likely, anyone that stumbles across this post later) - the program assumes that the .oauth file exists on the first run. Just create a file with that name in the directory.

  I'm just coming across this now. I'm wondering if there are any problems I should anticipate given that the original post was written a few years ago.
