Usage

You need perl5 (at least 5.10) and the Mojolicious module.

Get Mojolicious

There's Mojolicious packages for many systems. If you cant find one (or it's outdated) and you're comfortable with running random code from the web, you can do:

    $ curl get.mojolicio.us | sh

Mojolicious info:

• http://mojolicio.us/
• https://github.com/kraih/mojo

Running

Set the two environment variables HIO_DEVELOPER_ID and HIO_SECRET_KEY and run the perl file.

For example:

    $ HIO_DEVELOPER_ID=foo HIO_SECRET_KEY=bar ./hello_world.pl

Note: By default it is private (public => 0) so you have to follow yourself to see the app.
