    This advice is wrong, OP wanted to install to their home directory. local::lib etc.

    Can you please explain how sudo is part of the solution if you're installing into a personal directory ?

    sudo is for using super user permissions, and installing into a personal directory is used to install CPAN modules without requiring super user permissions.
