POE::Component::Server::Twirc - Twitter/IRC gateway
use POE::Component::Server::Twirc; POE::Component::Server::Twirc->new; POE::Kernel->run;
POE::Component::Server::Twirc provides an IRC/Twitter gateway. Twitter friends are added to a channel and messages they post on twitter appear as channel messages in IRC. The IRC interface supports several Twitter features, including posting status updates, following and un-following Twitter feeds, enabling and disabling mobile device notifications or retweets, sending direct messages, and querying information about specific Twitter users.
