perlcc is badly broken, and in fact has never really worked properly. 
This has nothing to do with Fedora, it's a perl issue and the same thing 
happens on all platforms.

If you want to compile a Perl script you should use the "pp" tool which 
comes as part of PAR (http://par.perl.org/).

To install PAR (or any other Perl module) on your machine use the 
following command:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install PAR'

You will have to answer some questions the first time you use this (the 
defaults are usually OK), and then you should be good to go.
