Simple REPL I use for ad-hoc Twitter API calls.

Set up the appropriate ENV variables. Run the script, c<enter> to run to the break point on line 30. Then make Twitter API calls. E.g.,

$ twitter-re.pl

Debugger skipping /^(?:Moose|Eval::Closure|Class::MOP)/

See ~/.perldb if you don't like this behavior.
