It depends on the module you'll be installing -- if it was written
entirely in perl, then no, you won't need a C compiler. A cursory
examination of the Expect-1.15.tar.gz tarball seems to indicate that
this is the case with the Expect module.

If your system doesn't have a compiler, why not download a copy of
gcc packaged for Solaris8 from sunfreeware.com?
