in thread How do I use curl with perl and Twitter

FYI: I am a Perl newbie. It is somewhat working, but I cannot figure out why this piece of code is not producing any output:

my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
   traits   => [qw/API::REST/],
   username => $usename,
   password => $pwd
  );

my $results = $nt->show_user($twitterID);

foreach my $user (@{ $results }) {
    my $id =  $user->{id};
    my $name = $user->{name};
    print STDOUT $id."   ".$name."<br>";
}

No error messages either. I know it's about the way I am accessing the $user hash. I did some perl reading, and even one of the examples in Net::Twitter uses the same code.

This is one of those (many) places where `use warnings` will tell you exactly what you are doing wrong. Not an ARRAY reference at ./twit line 13. The value you're getting back in `$result` is a hash reference. You can't treat it as an array reference. Coding without `use warnings` is stupid. Don't do it. -- See the Copyright notice on my home node. Perl training courses	[reply]
