The POST was not an unwarranted "assumption" as the oauth specification
[1] states that POST is RECOMMENDED for retrieving the both the Request
and the Access Tokens.
Also, as Abraham said, if your application doesn't successfully convert
the Request Token into an Access Token then it will not show as a
connection on your account. Make sure that you successfully retrieve an
access key and access secret before checking for the connection.

Josh,
Thanks for that. It's a little further down the line from where I am
but I figured out the problem I was having when requesting the token.
I was using a POST method where I should have been using a GET
method. That got me past the Token Request. However, I am getting
stuck at the authorization request stage. I think it might have
something to do with Twitter because I've authorized my app but it
doesn't appear in http://twitter.com/account/connections
Gonna keep trying different things until something appears to work but
if anyone has suggestions on using Perl for Twitter OAuth, please
chime in.
Cheers,
Pankaj

Hi All,
I'm working on converting a Perl Module that I wrote for Twitter to
using OAuth. I'm using the Net::OAuth module to help me and I'm
falling flat on my face. I'm an OAuth noob so forgive me. When I
submit my request, I keep getting a response back saying "Missing
Authenticate Header". Below is the snippet of code I'm using at the
moment. I'm obviously missing something but I have no idea what. I
haven't been able to find any info on the Twitter OAuth FAQ to help me
figure this out. Any and all help is greatly appeciated.
Cheers,
Pankaj
