Here's some more information on the deprecation of friends:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/friends
You don't need an id argument unless you're getting someone else's friends. If you're getting
your own (those of the authenticated user), just pass a cursor:
my $r = $nt->friends_ids({ cursor => -1 });
If you're getting friends of someone else, you can pass their numeric ID or screen name:
my $r = $nt->friends_ids({ user_id => $numeric_twitter_id, cursor => -1 });
my $r = $nt->friends_ids({ screen_name => $screen_name, cursor => -1 });
Although, it isn't necessary to pass an id to get your own friends, it works. Passing your own
screen name has the same effect as not passing an id at all.
Hope that helps.
