Hmmm... Never had that happen before ;-)
The simplest solution is:
perl Makefile.PL
make CC=gcc test && make install
Putting "CC=gcc" as an argument to make overrides the CC variable in
the Makefile.
BEWARE: The modperl build picks up the CC variable value from the perl
build. I don't know whether that was done simply as a matter of
convenience (i.e., the perl build process thoroughly tested the
compiler for the required capabilities so why redesign the wheel) or
whether there's some necessity that modperl be built with the same
compiler. Thus, if you change the default compiler as shown above, you
may or may not end up up to your neck in alligators. Without knowing
for sure the answer to the question, I'd rebuild perl with gcc.
