Pluto Bot

===============

It's a simple Twitter bot that searches Twitter for tweets with "has heart", and replies with a "reminder that Pluto also has heart". It also posts fun facts or puns about Pluto once in a while.

In order to avoid being offensive to medical condition tweets, regular expressions are utilized to not to reply to tweets that has some special keywords.

This script is heavily based on one of my previous projects, [twitter-voting](https://github.com/kyzn/twitter-voting).

#Requirements

You will obviously need Perl installed on your system. Most probably it's installed by default.

MySQL will be utilized too, but you will need at least v5.5.3. This is because we will have `utf8mb4` encoding, and prior versions will not support.

We need several CPAN modules too. You can install all dependencies by running following code block on your terminal/shell.

```bash

sudo cpanm Net::SSLeay Net::OAuth AnyEvent::Twitter::Stream DBD::mysql DateTime::Format::Strptime DateTime::Format::DBI DateTime::Format::MySQL Net::Twitter

```

#Setup

1. Run setup.sql on your MySQL

2. Rename PlutoAuth_sample.pm as PlutoAuth.pm

3. Write your db credentials into TwitAuth.pm

4. Create a Twitter application [here](http://apps.twitter.com).

5. Copy your Twitter tokens to PlutoAuth.pm as well.

#How to Use

The easiest way to run would be to open tmux in a cloud machine. Run stream.pl in one windows, and reply.pl in another.
