I doesn't understand much... Did ActiveState MakeMaker download a compiler
too or simply download the already compiled binaries from their sites.
For people with Debian System that want to rebuild their system through CPAN,
I think we could state that they will have a compiler installed at least (same
assumptions for apt-get source -b ... make and necessary compilations tools
must be installed).
