Update: This is perhaps a long winded approach, but I think it helps to understand the process in full.

Download the module, extract the archive, then:

wget https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Attachment/1576496/841876/0001-Fix-a-p
+ad-problem-with-Perl-5.21.4-on-threaded-build.patch
marto@shemp ~/Devel-CallParser-0.002 $ patch -p1 < 0001-Fix-a-pad-prob
+lem-with-Perl-5.21.4-on-threaded-build.patch
patching file lib/Devel/CallParser.xs
patching file t/pad2.t
[download]

Notice that the patch has created the new file you're looking for (you can see everything the patch does by reading it and following the logic). Then:

marto@shemp ~/Devel-CallParser-0.002 $ cpanm .
--> Working on .

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
