=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<App::Tweet> is a simple wrapper around L<Net::Twitter> that allows for you to easily send
messages (tweets) to twitter.com as a specific user.  You should use the 'tweet' command to
interface with this module.

The first time you C<run> the application it will prompt you for a user name and password.  This 
information is stored in a configuration file in your system's application data store.  The 
password is stored in a somewhat encrypted state, but the cipher key for the encryption is
stored right beside the configuration file, so it's not super-security.  The permissions on 
the file are set to read/write only by the file owner, but that is only relevant on some systems.

If you ever need to reset or change the username or password perminantely, you can use the
C<reconfigure> method.  If the change is just temporary, pass in the new username and password
when C<run>ning the application.

=head1 METHODS
