Actually, you just have to register your application and use OAuth to
authenticate, rather than Basic Authentication.
Net::Twitter will do all that you want, with lots of Moosey goodness.
Net::Twitter::Lite is the old version of Net::Twitter from before it was
Moosed. I don't know to what extent the author is keeping ::Lite up to
date with changes in the Twitter API. I recommend Net::Twitter[1].
