Perl is its own trip, and I don't use it, but here are some
general guidelines.
For the kernel and kernel modules, you need to install Package:
kernel-headers-2.6-686, or whichever kernel-headers package is
right for your system. Modules are, after all, technically a part
of the kernel.
On package-driven systems, like Debian, if you are compiling an
app from source, for any dependencies you also need to install
the <package>-dev package.
That starts with libc6-dev <<------- :-)
