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.
