Here is my test code. "foo.png" is a 323KB file in the cwd.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Net::Twitter;
$\ = "\n";
my $img = "foo.png";
# Translate image to a raw format
my $raw = do {
open ( my $fh, '<:raw:perlio', $img )
or die "Can't open image file $img: $!";
local $/;
<$fh>;
};
# Create a connection to twitter
my $twit = Net::Twitter->new( {
username => "fake_uid",
password => "fake_pwd",
} );
# Post the image file
$twit->update_profile_image( $raw );
# Grab the error hash ref and roll through it
my $err = $twit->get_error;
foreach my $key ( sort keys %{ $err } ) {
print STDERR "$key => $err->{ $key }";
}
And the dump of the $err hash ref:
error => There was a problem with your picture. Probably too big.
request => /account/update_profile_image.json
The "probably too big" is not a very good error message, is it? :) I also tried it with a 5px x 5px file and it spat out the same error.
As I said earlier, the connection to twitter is working, because I can successfully post using the update() method.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
