Sounds like perl wants to compile some C code.  The traditional unix
compiler is cc.  Well, most of us have gcc.  Usually, cc is a symbolic
link to gcc and it should be in your path.  You should find these in the 
user binary directory: /usr/bin

/usr/bin/cc
/usr/bin/gcc

My cc is not a symbolic link, but shares the same md5sum as gcc.  You can 
copy gcc to cc...
