on many platforms, you need to install optional C compilers and
associated libraries to build modules that have C components.
and, on package managed platforms such as RPM packaged Linux, building
modules this way can sometimes lead to confusion with the packaging
system... on these platforms its considered a good idea to build RPMs
from the modules you compile (via CPAN2RPM or other similar tools),
which can then be deployed on multiple systems.
