There's ActivePerl for Windows, but I don't know how to install Perl packages with it (I've only ever used the standard set for things at work). There's likely to be some way out there to schedule it to run each night.

I would seriously love to find a way to make this work on Windows, if anyone can help me.

Hey, awesome, thank you for sharing.

I've modified it for my own use - I changed it to only post tweets that begin with "Lj" and to work every hour, since I wasn't so much looking for something that would collect my twitters onto LiveJournal as something that I could use to post to LiveJournal from my phone.

Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately, my phone does not allow me to send emails (unless I connect expensively to the internet), which is why I'd been thinking about a solution like this.

(And I can't use TxtLJ either.)

Gah, has anyone found out if this can work with Windows? I've been looking for a place to put my tweets on Livejournal besides Loudtwitter because.. hey you have to admit, they suck.

I know how to load a perl script already since I'm already using one to post my recently played last.fm tracks on twitter, but when loading twitter2lj.pl..

Can't locate XML/RSS/Parser.pm in @INC <@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/liv C:/Perl/lib .> at C:/Documents and Settings/Joey/twitter2lj.pl line 95. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Documents and Settings/Joey/twitter2lj.pl line 95

How do I install it? :|

My perl-fu is damaged these days (by the multiple sclerosis MonSter). I am getting an error message:

natalie$ perl twitter2lj.pl
Can't locate XML/RSS/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /sw/lib/perl5 /sw/lib/perl5/darwin /Library/Perl/Updates/5.8.8 /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 .) at twitter2lj.pl line 95.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at twitter2lj.pl line 95.

Any ideas what I do next? I'd love to get this working as LoudTwitter seems to have died.

Thanks a lot for this, I got it working on Windows. It took me a lot longer than necessary since I had no previous experience with Perl, but I got it working eventually. (I managed to figure out how to install Perl and most of the necessary modules just by reading the online documentation at cpan.org. A couple of the modules gave me trouble because they had to be installed a certain way, and that was what took so long.) Windows has a built-in scheduler, so I just whipped up a tiny batch file to run the script, and set the scheduler to run the batch every night.
