Thank you Juerd, for that increadibly non-instructive response.

Thank you for that increadibly non-descriptive question [the root node of this thread]. By mentioning three methods of finding answers real quick, I think I did quite well.

I'll try and make it clearer: perlcc waves_praat.pl -o waves_praat does not work.

Please compare "have been trying to find out how to use" to "found out that it does not work". And still you did not provide enough information for us to have ANY clue about what goes wrong. What are the error messages? Do you even have a compiler installed?

I would not expect to be unable to cope

The code generated in this way is not guaranteed to work. should have given you some sort of hint. You should not expect perlcc to work properly. This citation is from the manual I refered to three times, by the way.

So, my question remains: is there a module that I must use in order for perlcc to function properly

There is not. It would have been mentioned in the documentation, as Fletch already pointed out. 

- Yes, I reinvent wheels.
