The error message just did ;-)
To build this module you needs a C compiler.
If you haven't got one you are stuck.
Perl records which C compiler was used to build _perl_ in Config.pm
when you build XS extensions Makefile.PL etc. use the name stored there
as the C compiler.
If you _do_ have a C compiler you can
- change your shell's PATH variable so that the compiler as named
in Config.pm can be found.
- edit Config.pm to point at where compiler is.
- Build your own perl with _your_ compiler so that the new perl
will have right location in its Config.pm
