I'm not especially surprised. Newt hasn't seen a release in almost 15 years. Back then, Perl 5.5 was still the current stable version of Perl. Modern Perls have had API changes since then, so there would probably be problems linking them; also gcc has come a long way since then and that may cause problems too.

There's only a single PASS result on CPAN testers, so you're not the only person that has had problems.

If you can track down a machine running Perl 5.6/5.8 and gcc 2.9x, then you might have better luck building it.

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
