Greetings, monks. I am working with the Net::Twitter module to create a little script to send tweets of what I am listening to on Amarok. I also want to change my Twitter image with the currently playing album cover. The pod says that the method update_profile_image() expects "raw image data, not a pathname or URL to the image." Can someone point me to a module that will covert a local file to a thing that will work? I looked at Imager and Image::Magick but could not figure it out. Thanks! Eddie

UPDATE: I got on #net-twitter on irc.perl.org and spoke with the author. It seems that my code is solid, but the reason it is failing is that twitter is simply too busy. Apparently, when their servers get overloaded, image uploads from the web interface or the API tend to fail.

Thanks to everyone that helped me out!
