Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

$http->put_OAuth1(1);
$http->put_OAuthVerifier("");
$http->put_OAuthConsumerKey("my-consumer-key");
$http->put_OAuthConsumerSecret("my-consumer-secret");
$http->put_OAuthToken("my-access-token");
$http->put_OAuthTokenSecret("my-token-secret");

# Send the same status update as shown in this example:
# https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/update

# IMPORTANT: Make sure this app has read/write access.  
# Otherwise it cannot post an update (i.e. tweet) to the Twitter account.
