Problems compiling on Ubuntu or Linux Mint

I was having trouble installing a perl module on Linux Mint despite the same module installing fine on the Linux Mint machine next to mine. Scrolling up through the errors it seemed that various .h files were missing. A quick search online and I discovered this post on the Ubuntu Forums. For those who have the same problem and don't want to read the post the solution is pretty damn simple:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Or searchh for build-essential in synaptic and install it that way.
