Not all Perl modules are Pure Perl modules which means that for example 
GD has a Perl interface to the gd.so which fixdeps will try to compile 
for you.
That is probably not the right thing to say but I hope its close enough 
for you to understand the why of th C compiler.

If you really get stuck I might be able to help out, since we used to be 
quite involved with Sun Solaris.
