Some more reflection about this suggested that if you are on a platform 
that distinguishes between devel and binary packages  (ie headers aren't 
installed with the binaries), you may need the 'devel' package for Perl.

The bottom line is that your problem _is_ missing packages if your 
system does not have 

perl.h
EXTERN.h

in a path refered to by perl -V.

(To be sure, you may want to try find /usr -name 'perl.h' -ls)

If you are sure, you don't have the headers, you will need to .. STFW 
shows quite a lot of stuff about embedded Perl on Deb.

http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/perl-policy/ch-embed.html 
talks about a libperl-dev ? Does that mean anything to you ?


Yours sincerely.
