Description

       This plugin will use Net::Twitter to send a release notice to Twitter.  By default, it will include a
       link to release on <http://metacpan.org>.

       The default configuration is as follows:

           [Twitter]
           tweet_url = https://metacpan.org/release/{{$AUTHOR_UC}}/{{$DIST}}-{{$VERSION}}/
           tweet = Released {{$DIST}}-{{$VERSION}}{{$TRIAL}} {{$URL}} !META{resources}{repository}{web}
           url_shortener = TinyURL

       The "tweet_url" is shortened with WWW::Shorten::TinyURL or whichever other service you choose (use 'none'
       to use the full URL, in which case Twitter will shorten it for you) and appended to the "tweet" message.

   VARIABLEINTERPOLATION
       The following variables are available for substitution in the URL and message templates:

             DIST        # Foo-Bar
             MODULE      # Foo::Bar
             ABSTRACT    # Foo-Bar is a module that FooBars
             VERSION     # 1.23
             TRIAL       # -TRIAL if is_trial, empty string otherwise.
             TARBALL     # Foo-Bar-1.23.tar.gz
             AUTHOR_UC   # JOHNDOE
             AUTHOR_LC   # johndoe
             AUTHOR_PATH # J/JO/JOHNDOE
             URL         # http://tinyurl.com/...

       DISTMETAINTERPOLATION

       Resources information available in the META.* files of the distribution can be accessed via
       "<META{key}{subkey}[1]">. You may mix-and-match "{...}" to access hashref elements and "[\d]" to access
       arrayref elements.  You're responsible for making sure you are accessing the right part of the META data
       structure, and treating it as the right type of data. See CPAN::Meta::Spec and the "$TYPE DATA" sections
       of CPAN::Meta in particular.

       The "META{...}" replacement may also have one of two modifiers, which are prefixed directly before
       "META":

       "!" - URL shortening
           Providing  an  exclamation  point  ("!META{...}")  will  URL-shorten  the  value you extract from the
           distmeta data structure. This will have no effect unless the value is a URL to begin with.

       "@" - Arrayref stringification
           Providing an at-symbol (@META{...}) will include all the elements of  the  arrayref  you  specify  by
           joining them with $". So, this is just like doing "@{ $your_array_ref }".

       So, for example, to use the GitHub home of the project instead of its metacpan page, one can do:

           [Twitter]
           tweet = Released {{$DIST}}-{{$VERSION}}{{$TRIAL}} !META{resource}{repository}{web}
           url_shortener = TinyURL

       Or, to include the authors in your tweet:

           [Twitter]
           tweet = @META{author} released {{$MODULE}} {{$VERSION}}: {{$URL}}

   PAUSEID
       You must be using the "UploadToCPAN" or "FakeRelease" plugin for this plugin to determine your PAUSEID.

   HASHTAGS
       You  can  use  the "hash_tags" option to append hash tags (or anything, really) to the end of the message
       generated from "tweet".

           [Twitter]
           hash_tags = #perl #cpan #foo
