I did not dig too deep - but after trying out some examples it seems that WWW::Facebook::API does not work with the current Facebook API (i.e. what was announced as the graph api). There is a promising new module on CPAN called Facebook::Graph that is, as I understand, specially crafted to work with the graph api - but it is not clear if it will take over the full functionality of WWW::Facebook::API (http://blogs.perl.org/users/jt_smith/2010/07/introducing-facebookgraph.html). I have contacted the author of WWW::Facebook::API and he informed me that he is looking for a new maintainer for the module - as keeping with all Facebook upgrades is a rather heavy burden and he does not use that module himself any more.
