Maybe you don't have the xlc_r installed on your machine at all, or maybe
it is not on your path when you are logged in as root.

Either way, the primary fix is to ensure that root has access to the xlc_r
compiler.

The secondary problem is that you're compiling as root.  Personally, I
recommend doing the compilation and testing as a regular user.  Only if
you're sure you want to mess with the system installation of Perl do you do
the install as 'root'.  Minimize the use of root privileges; it reduces the
risks of doing damage if something goes wrong.
