=head1 DESCRIPTION
first. Consult the Usenet FAQs for your operating system for
information on where to get such a binary version.
+You might look around the net for a pre-built binary of Perl (or a
+C compiler!) that meets your needs, though:
+
+For Windows, Vanilla Perl (http://vanillaperl.com/) comes with a
+bundled C compiler. ActivePerl is a pre-compiled version of Perl
+ready-to-use.
+
+For Sun systems, SunFreeware.com provides binaries of most popular
+applications, including compilers and Perl.

That's probably because you forgot libraries, or library paths differ.
