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
