show_status(id) not using authentication?

I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Hi, I'm preparing to use all Twitter API calls through OAuth following Twitter's recent announcement about v1.1 of their API. But I realize that the following doesn't use authentication:

my $res = $nt->show_status({ id => $twit, include_entities => 'true', authenticate => 1

I've double checked it via

$res = $nt->rate_limit_status({authenticate => 1});

and

$res = $nt->rate_limit_status({authenticate => 0});

. Both work, and I can deduce that

$nt->show_status

has been using the non-authenticated route. Any reason why? Thank you for you help! Cheers, Scotty
