Compile Error in Perl

[liveproject101]

I tried to compile my program but I get the following error

g++ fn-test.cpp -o t 'perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts'
g++: perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts: No such file or directory
fn-test.cpp:2:24: fatal error: EXTERN.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I am working on ubuntu so I went into cpan and ran

force install ExtUtils::Embed

it did it's thing for a while and now when I try to compile again, I get the same error. This is my first time trying to call a Perl program from C++, so any tips would be helpful.
