SPUG: perl modules on mac os x

[Trey Harris]

It looks to me like you didn't install the developer tools, and so you 
don't have a developer toolchain.

Insert your OS X DVD and go into "Xcode Tools" and double-click on the 
Xcode bundle.  Prior to that, you will also want the BSD toolchain since 
many CPAN modules with XS code will make use of things there.  Just search 
the DVD for packages containing "BSD" in their names and install them, and 
then install Xcode.
