how can it happen when with perl -v i see installed Perl 5.18.1 and no h2xs commands available in shell?

Either h2xs is not in your $PATH or its not installed

Some linux distros still call it "perl" after they remove lots of files (strip it down) that ship with perl

They may have an option to install the missing stuff (??? sudo apt-get install libperl-dev ???)

You can always install a perl in your ~/home, sh Configure -Dprefix=~/p-5.8.1/ .... or install a Portable aka relocatable perl like http://www.citrusperl.com/
