Installation
============
How to install pidgin-twitter-status
Introduction
------------
Requirements:
Pidgin, Perl and the following two Perl modules, which you may have to install manually:
* XML::RSS
* LWP::Simple
Details
-------
Is Pidgin Perl enabled?
In Pidgin, navigate to Help->About and find Perl: Enabled If Perl is not enabled, you may have to install Perl and then re-install Pidgin.
Install XML::RSS and LWP::Simple
This depends on your operating system, but could be as simple as
# cpan XML::RSS
# cpan LWP::Simple
If your OS or Perl installation uses a package system it's recommended you install the modules using that, if possible.

Copy twitter-status.pl to your pidgin plugins directory. Usually C:\Documents and Settings\
\Pidgin\plugins
Linux
-----
Copy twitter-status.pl to your pidgin plugins directory Usually ~/.purple/plugins/
Mac OSX
-------
Pidgin is not available for Mac OS, but this plugin may work with Adium. I don't know, as I don't have regular access to a Mac. YMMV...
Enable pidgin-twitter-status
Using Pidgin, navigate to Tools -> Plugins and find Twitter Status. Enable it, and click the Configure Plugin button to open the plugin configuration dialog. Enter your Twitter RSS user feed (http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=username), configure other options, and click Close.
