barrycarlyon has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Greetings Im trying to write a perl script, which takes data from a database, and uses curl to interact with the Twitter API in order to update my status. Using CRON to trigger it. This is my first attempt at a non website-outputting script So Currently i Have:
However i get:
I have downloaded and make'd WWW::Curl, and it is in the library location i have specified Also how do i make a database connection? As i tried including the database files, and it doesnt work, mainly becuase where the script runs, the perl libs are not installed at root, though are avaiable for access if quired for the web... Update: forgot to mention, the system im on allows make'ing but not install'ing Final Update - Turns out it was a dodgy install, and the paths listed done exists as the mach bits are at the directory i cant access/edit/install to. Anywho the net::twitter module does its job, i just need to cron it in, but i cant edit my crontab, as my server provider is being funny lol Thanks for all the help :-) Final Final Update All working check twitter.com/lsrfm_com
