I am trying to install perl on HPUX 10.20 system
But it seems there are some problems with the compiler as following.
Can you help me in getting rid of the prlblems.
Thanks in advance.

<stdlib.h> found.

Do you wish to attempt to use the malloc that comes with perl5? [y] n

Your system wants malloc to return 'void *', it would seem.
Your system uses void free(), it would seem.

Checking out function prototypes...
Your C compiler doesn't seem to understand function prototypes.

Configure​: FATAL ERROR​:
This version of perl5 can only be compiled by a compiler that
understands function prototypes. Unfortunately, your C compiler
  cc -D_HPUX_SOURCE
doesn't seem to understand them. Sorry about that.

If GNU cc is available for your system, perhaps you could try that instead.

Eventually, we hope to support building Perl with pre-ANSI compilers.
If you would like to help in that effort, please contact <perlbug@​perl.org>.

Aborting Configure now.

See README.hpux. You will either have to purchase HP's ANSI C compiler (or
install a copy if you are entititled to do so by any site licence that your
company might already have), or download (and build, unless you can find a
binary for your system) gcc. But, before you do either of those things,
have a good look around your system to check whether you already have a
copy of either of those compilers in some directory which is not on your
current search path. If you find a compiler, add the directory containing
it to your search path, then rerun Configure.
