Chris, you need to install Net::Twitter for perl. You can do that by entering the command above:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::Twitter'

Please feel free to comment or e-mail me if you have any more issues.

Giving people the benefit of the doubt makes a ton of sense.

I know I'm more willing to listen to folks who follow me. Folks that one way twitter are terribly frustrating. (as are people who try to spam 4,000+ people) When Guy Kawasaki finally decided to follow me after a month or two of not doing so, I know I'm going to be visiting his blog much more often.

Hat tip and props to Creative Sage for bringing me over to this post from Twitter.

I think your download link may be down. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this is accomplished. thanks for your contribution, and best of luck with your projects.

Jesse Stay · 1 year ago

Eli, try it again. You might also want to try socialtoo.com - I take all of the hard work out of it for you by doing it all for you there.

Eli · 1 year ago

Hey Jesse - Thanks for the quick response!

I was able to grab the download this time, but as per your socialtoo.com, that site seems to be down instead.

sorry - there's a bug there - you have to go to http://www.socialtoo.com (notice the www). I'll get that fixed soon...

OK, I must be an idiot. I installed Net::Twitter and I get a install OK on that. When I drag the auto_follow.pl in to my terminal I get a 'command not found' with it (using sudo as well). What am I missing here? It has to be something simple.

Jesse Stay · 1 year ago

Benjamin, unless you're set on running it on your own computer, I suggest just signing up for SocialToo.com - I've implemented it on a multi-user scale there and you can also blacklist users and do other stuff, including stuff on Facebook. If you like it, tell your friends about it!

$ ./auto_follow.pl
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at ./auto_follow.pl line 26.

What gone wrong?

jessestay · 1 year ago

The Net::Twitter library has issues right now - I would recommend just
signing up at http://socialtoo.com and let it take care of that for
you. I'll release an updated version of the code here as soon as I
get a chance.

Do you have zip version for download? thanks :)

jessestay · 1 year ago

Jerry, for now I suggest just signing up for SocialToo.com - it takes
care of it all for you. I'll be releasing another version of this
that is much more updated soon, which I'll provide a zip version.

i use tweelater for this..!!!
:)

jessestay · 1 year ago

paranoid - with Tweetlater you have to set up e-mail rules to do it.
This requires no configuration on your end - it does it all for you,
nothing you have to do. Tweetlater also does not track unfollows.

Gypsy · 10 months ago

SocialToo.com doesn't work at all. with a www. in front of it or not.

what's another suggestion?

jessestay · 10 months ago

Gypsy, please try it again. We were having DNS issues earlier today, but
they're fixed now.

Ryan · 9 months ago

Hi did you ever fix the issue "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at ./auto_follow.pl line 26."?

jessestay · 9 months ago

Ryan, I've deferred most of the work on this over to my site, SocialToo.com,
which will do all of this for you.
