albh has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All I'm trying to update my status through the api and oauth on twitter. I get stuck on the last step, the status update... here's my code: The header:
$ua->default_header('Content-Type' => "application/x-www-form-urle +ncoded"); $ua->default_header('oauth_signature' => "$signature"); $ua->default_header('Authorization' => '"OAuth realm="Twitter API" +'); $ua->default_header('oauth_consumer_key' => "blablabla"); $ua->default_header('oauth_nonce' => "$nonce"); $ua->default_header('oauth_signature_method' => "HMAC-SHA1"); $ua->default_header('oauth_timestamp' => "$epoch"); $ua->default_header('oauth_token' => "$token_final"); $ua->default_header('oauth_version' => "1.0");
The post to http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json made with lwp useragent:
'oauth_signature'=>"$signature", 'status'=>'Bientot', 'oauth_consumer_key'=>'blabla', 'oauth_signature_method'=>'HMAC-SHA1', 'oauth_nonce'=>"$nonce", 'oauth_timestamp'=>"$epoch", 'oauth_token'=>"$token_final", 'oauth_version'=>"1.0",
and what i get:
