Looking back at the error you got:

> Can't locate DateTime/Locale/en_US.pm in @INC (you may need to install the DateTime::Locale::en_US module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl
> /usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5

/home/reiner/bin/FollowTwitterStream.pl line 24 is
|     $dt = retrieve("$configfile");

and the error before also refers to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.24/Storable.pm

So it seems that you are loading something from
my $configfile = "/home/reiner/.FollowTwitterStream";
which doesn't work anymore.

I'd probably add something like
| use Data::Dumper; print STDERR Dumper $dt; exit;
after line 24 to see what's in this $configfile.
 
[... end of script ...]
> $dt = DateTime->now;
> nstore $dt, "$configfile";

Well, if it's only the current time which is stored there, the file
can probably also deleted without much harm ...
