Cannot install Date::Calc perl module

Question

I'm running Solaris 11 on my machine and I need to install the Date::Calc perl module in order for one of my scripts to work.
When I run the following command:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Calc'
I get the following error:
Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (Bit::Vector)
STBEY/Date-Calc-6.3.tar.gz
[dependencies] -- NA
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
When trying to install Bit::Vector first, i.e. when running the following command:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bit::Vector'
i get the following error message:
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

So it looks like the C compiler is missing. So I installed gcc via the following commands:
pkg install gcc-45
pkg install system/header
but I still get the same error when trying to install Bit::Vector. Indeed, when I type cc on the command-line, I get the command not found error. When I type gcc, however, I get gcc: no input files.
What should I do to fix this?
Thanks for your advice,

So I ran the following command:
+/usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perlgcc -MCPAN -e 'install Bit::Vector'+
but it did not work either. I got the following error output.
