Net::Twitter will do all that you want, with lots of Moosey goodness. 
Net::Twitter::Lite is the old version of Net::Twitter from before it was 
Moosed. I don't know to what extent the author is keeping ::Lite up to 
date with changes in the Twitter API. I recommend Net::Twitter[1].

If you just want a command line Twitter client, then take a look at 
App::Maisha - http://search.cpan.org/dist/App-Maisha/
