If you get prompted by questions press intro to use the defaults and run: (Supposing your are using bash.)

. ~/.bashrc
echo $PERL5LIB

If you don't get an output that looks like

/home/sergio/perl5/lib/perl5:/home/sergio/perl5/lib/perl5

Run perl -I${HOME}/perl5/lib/ -Mlocal::lib to see what enviroment variables you will have to set in your .profile, .shellrc or whatever file your shell sources.

Once you have a working local::lib you will be able to run:

tdtcli.pl
