Has anybody been able to successfully interface with the Mt.Gox trading API in Linux?
I've been pulling my hair out for hours trying to figure this shit out.

My program logic is all flow charted and pseudo-coded but first I need to connect.
I chose Perl because I'm familiar with it but perhaps Java would be easier.

Any tips on how to get started?

Any reason it must be a Linux?  In Windows, you can use WinInet.DLL.
Very convenient if you don't want to worry about timeouts, certs validation, setting up an HTTPS connection. 
Write a JSON parser and you can have a trading app in C or C++ in no time (well, few weeks with all the testing etc).

I'm working on a private Java implementation, too. There are some problems, like the lack of micro seconds in Java, but I think, I have a workaround. I've just started the UI elements, so it's still a long way to go...

There are a lot of examples on here on how to interface with the api as well as on the wiki.
