A very simple Perl program that allows for posting to twitter, and reading your friends_timeline from twitter. twitter-cmdline is a very simple Perl program that allows for posting to twitter, and reading your friends_timeline from twitter. It can initiate follow messages, and it can send direct messages. Developer comments I wrote this program because I wanted to have a way for my servers to twitter me about things they felt were important. I wanted to use it to provide a monitoring interface for simple things. Such as tying it to SimpleEventCorrelator to let me know when things go on in the logs that I should know about. This program is such a thing. This command-line twitter client supports an arbitrary number of twitter accounts by way of individual configuration files for each twitter account. The default account is $HOME/.twitterrc, but an alternate can be specified on the command-line with -f.  [edit]  Less
