Twitter::API provides an interface to the Twitter REST API for perl.
Features:
* full support for all Twitter REST API endpoints
* not dependent on a new distribution for new endpoint support
* optionally specify access tokens per API call
* error handling via an exception object that captures the full
request/response context
* full support for OAuth handshake and Xauth authentication
Additional features are available via optional traits:
* convenient methods for API endpoints with simplified argument
handling via ApiMethods
* normalized booleans (Twitter likes 'true' and 'false', except when
it doesn't) via NormalizeBooleans
* automatic decoding of HTML entities via DecodeHtmlEntities
* automatic retry on transient errors via RetryOnError
* "the whole enchilada" combines all the above traits via Enchilada
* app-only (OAuth2) support via AppAuth
* automatic rate limiting via RateLimiting
