Perl Module: Net::Twitter

Greetings Forum Readers/Sonic Support,

I used PerlDigger to review the installed Perl Modules on the Sonic servers. I was wondering if the Perl Module Net::Twitter could be installed on the Sonic servers. If so, what is the process to request it? If not, if I installed it in my own directories, would Sonic prevent me from using this Perl Module to submit Tweets into the Twitter API. I would like to have the ability to generate or users of my site generate, Tweets and/or Tweet comments to the Twitter site via the Perl Module interface.

If this Perl Module is located outside the standard PATH in another directory, I'd like to know that.

Please let me know your comments/suggestions on this subject.

Thanks!

You are free to install it in your local directory.

Thanks Augie!

Should I use the cpan installation method or manually configure my directories and add the directory to my PATH?

You may want to look at local::lib -- it will make sure that future installs from CPAN will install into a safe place within your home directory.
