Hello Perl Monks

I've been trying to install some perl packages via CPAN but its failing, see the examples below for your reference. Can you please advise how can I successfully install these packages?

[~]$ cpan -f -i Device::SerialPort
Going to read '/home/emarwja/.cpan/Metadata'

Running install for module 'Device::SerialPort'
Running make for C/CO/COOK/Device-SerialPort-1.04.tar.gz

  CPAN.pm: Going to build C/CO/COOK/Device-SerialPort-1.04.tar.gz

To enable serial port tests, use:
        perl Makefile.PL TESTPORT=<DEVICE>
where <DEVICE> is a specific port or 'auto' to autodetect.
Running ./configure ...
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
The 'configure' script didn't like something.  It should have told you
what went wrong, but you can check 'config.log' for more details.
