- Net::Twitter::Lite : Perl module for Twitter API modules.
- XML::RSS::Parser::Lite : Perl RSS parser which will be used for RSS Feeds.
- XML::Parser::Lite : Lightweight regexp-based XML parser and dependancy for XML::RSS::Parser::Lite
- LWP::Simple : dependancy for XML::RSS::Parser::Lite
- WWW::Shorten::Bitly : Interface to shortening URLs using URL shortening site bit.ly
