When building a module, you're not building perl (like perlembed), so use a Makefile.PL

See perlxstut, h2xs, module-starter, ExtUtils::MakeMaker/Module::Build

If you insist invoking gcc yourself, don't assume everyone hash bash, just write a perl program to invoke gcc 

system 'gcc', $ccflags, $in, $out ...;
