Installing a perl module: Gcc not working

[meni]

I'm trying to install a perl module I downloaded from CPAN, for example PD.pm.

perl Makefile.PL LIB=/path/to/my/dir
make

this fails since cc (c compiler) doesn't work, and this module involves compilation.

Why is cc not enabled? (I presume because it;s resource hog)
Can this be done??

Thanks

The compiler has been disabled so as to stop people compiling things that they shouldn't i would imagine.
If you need a new module added then i would advise contacting support and asking if they will do it.

What sdjl said. Also, remember that this is a http/ftp/(...) server, and not the place for compiling anything

Submit a trouble ticket and ask to have it installed.
