Thanks for some quick insights. 
Well I had tried this option earlier and now also. Here is what I get. (I have 
attached only error or warnings block)

on many platforms, you need to install optional C compilers and associated 
libraries to build modules that have C components.

and, on package managed platforms such as RPM packaged Linux, building modules 
this way can sometimes lead to confusion with the packaging system... on these 
platforms its considered a good idea to build RPMs from the modules  you 
compile 
(via CPAN2RPM or other similar tools), which can then be deployed on multiple 
systems.
