the Perl supplied for AIX from IBM in */usr/opt/perl5* was compiled with 
IBM's XL-C compiler, which is a paid product.   cc_r is normally in 
/usr/vac/bin or /usr/vacpp/bin if you've installed XLC or XLC++ 
respectively.   While it may be possible to compile perl extensions with 
GCC, it likely requires jumping through hoops as the compiler options 
are /very/ different.
