libc6-dev has the headers.

But if you are installing perl modules from source, you will also need
the compiler.

Use the package management tools to install "build-essential".  That
will install the compilers (gcc and g++ version 4.0, plus libc6-dev and
make). The command line to do this is:
	sudo apt-get install build-essential

Or you can use the GUI tool (Adept for kubuntu?).
