perl twitter api

[danny0085]

I try to update profiles picturs with perl twitter api

my $result = $nt->update_profile_image('tux.png');

but I get
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden There was a problem with your picture. Probably too big.

I tried with several images and the same result
PD: I also tried with a tiny image (<1kb) and the same. Maybe I am sending bad the parameters?

There was a problem with your picture. Probably too big.

Start by reading the error message. Try uploading a very tiny image, like the one generated by this script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use MIME::Base64;
open OUT,'>','tiny.gif' or die "ooops: $!";
binmode OUT;
print OUT decode_base64('R0lGODlhAQABAPABAIor4v///yH5BAAAAAAALAAAAAABA
+AEAAAICRAEAOw==');
close OUT;

Read the API rules. Perhaps you have hit a usage limit.

Twitter api?

Given the method name update_profile_image and the variable name $nt, my guess is Net::Twitter, which seems to use the REST API documented at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api. The function for updating the profile image and especially the image constraints are documented at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/account/update_profile_image.
