    access on its behalf ressources on a server without giving its password
    to the application. To achieve this aim OAuth have a fairly complicated
    3-steps authentication mechanism which require to user to go to a
    website to authenticate itself. The authentication response is then
    sent-back by the user itself through a callback mechanism.

    OAuth::Consumer hide away to complexity of this process, including the
    set-up of a callback webserver which can be called by the user browser
    when its authentication is performed.

    This library is oriented toward desktop application, it could possibly
    be used in a web application but I have not tried it (and the LWP setup
    may not be the most appropiate in this case).

    Authenticating your application with OAuth to access some user's
    ressources is a matter of requesting and authorising a *token*. This can
    be done with the following steps:

      use OAuth::Consumer;
  
      my $ua = OAuth::Consumer->new(
