Net::Twitter:

# this is what Chris Thompson recommended 
# this code snippet is Public Domain if it matters 

use Net::Twitter;
my $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
    apiurl   => 'http://identi.ca/api',
    apihost  => 'identi.ca',
    apirealm => 'Laconica API',
    user     => 'username',
    pass     => 'password'
);

$nt->update(q[testing from Net::Twitter]);

print $nt->http_code . " ";
print $nt->http_message;

Notes:

To make it work, I had to change the "apihost=> 'identi.ca'" to "apihost => 'identi.ca:80'". The format (with port :80 added) is also the same in the Net::Twitter Perl documentation. I'm using Net::Twitter 1.14.

[edit] Java

(Alex Bowyer) I recently had some problems posting to status.net from Java. It turns out you cannot pass your Parameters using the HttpParam class (I got a weird response with HTTP 200 OK but non-XML content).

Here is a working solution:

// vars
String URL = "http://www.mystatusnetinstance.com/mystatusnet/api/statuses/update.xml";
String username = "myusername";
String password = "mypassword";

//set up params
ArrayList<BasicNameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<BasicNameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("source","MyApp"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("status","Hello World!"));

// prepare post
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(URL);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params, HTTP.UTF_8));

// set up authentication
BasicCredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
UsernamePasswordCredentials creds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password);
AuthScope scope = new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST, AuthScope.ANY_PORT, AuthScope.ANY_REALM);
credsProvider.setCredentials(scope, creds);
client.setCredentialsProvider(credsProvider);

// execute
HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost, localContext);

// analyse response
System.out.println("HTTP Response Status: " + response.getStatusLine());
InputStream is = entity.getContent();
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
org.w3c.dom.Document w3cDoc = builder.parse(is);
DOMReader dom4jreader = new DOMReader();
org.dom4j.Document dom4jDoc = dom4jreader.read(w3cDoc);
// you would walk the DOM and process it here. 

// For now just print XML
String XMLResponseBody = dom4jDoc.asXML();
System.out.println("XML HTTP Response: "+XMLResponseBody);

This sample makes use of HTTP Components and DOM4J
