OK building with gcc.
But I see that I missed the obvious.
perl will use the same compiler as was used to build it, and from a
config.pm (or similar) file saved at installation time.

I have always built perl myself, and shared the result, via a ClearCase vob.
So, I don't know what would happen if you managed to get libraries
which would be built with different compilers.
They would anyway have to be link compatible, since the existing perl
will load them.
You may try first to install a minimal module set locally.
There are flags to use with 'perl Makefile.PL', and a PERL5xxx
environment variable to set.
You'll find the details in the man pages/pods.

That's likely to be a matter of proxy settings.
Again, I don't remember the details from the top of my head...
