Making Twitter client with Net::Twitter, I reveals 4 points conflicting
between Official API and Net::Twitter module. Each confrictions are
itemized bellow. I made a slight modification patch on 1.17 version,
unpatched #40835 patch, in accordance with the 4 points, except for
removing archive method. I hope I've assisted the next release.
[1] Twitter API returns JSON non-object or non-array.
I got a following error message, when call test() function.
JSON text must be an object or array (but found number, string, true,
false or null, use allow_nonref to allow this) at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/JSON/Any.pm line 483.
Ngrep packet logs are on below:

"ok"
It seems that some Twitter APIs, not only test method, returns such
non-object or non-array. Setting allow_noref option true by
JSON::Any->new(allow_nonref => 1)->jsonToObj(...) instead of
JSON::Any->jsonToObj(...) may clear up the error.
[2] An archive method is deprecated and is not listed on toc longer.
According to Twitter API Wiki / REST API
Documentation(http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation),
archive method no longer exist on table of contents. I tried to call
archive method as a test, and error has returnd with "Please call
user_timeline method."

I don't think Net::Twitter needs to support archive method longer.
[3] Don't work relationship_exists method properly.
As already reported, relationship_exist methods doesn't work fine. 400
Bad request error is returnd when exist method are called through
Net::Twitter.

The patch attached #40835: bug report works fine.
[4] New methods update_profile_colors, update_profile_image and
update_profile_background_image are added.
Net::Twitter 1.17 Version doesn't have these three methods, so I add the
methods.
Thank you for reading.
