Hi :)

The app requires the Database at /home/$USER/ (Replace the $USER with username or value of echo $USER)

Hi :) See File::UserConfig, its File::HomeDir + File::ShareDir

see example https://metacpan.org/source/CRZEDPSYC/App-DuckPAN-0.137

So :) 

App-Wordzilla/bin/
App-Wordzilla/lib/App/Wordzilla.pm
App-Wordzilla/share/Wordzilla.sqlite
App-Wordzilla/MANIFEST
App-Wordzilla/Makefile.PL
App-Wordzilla/README.md

[download]

Then to create installable package (a tarball) run perl Makefile.PL && make dist

Then to install (if you upload to cpan)  cpan App::Wordzilla
or cpanm git://github.com/tirkarthi/Wordzilla-Perl
or cpan ./App-Wordzilla-0.01.tar.gz

Other comments,

See dict for a nice interface :) prompting is laborious :) options are always more fun that prompting :) ... The Dynamic Duo --or-- Holy Getopt::Long, Pod::UsageMan!

 my $choice = <STDIN>; ... ..

If you're keen on prompting, see ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt

Also bin/wordzilla becomes 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use App::Wordzilla;
App::Wordzilla::run( @ARGV );
exit( 0 );

And you've got yourself a "CPAN" style distribution
