You are correct that Perl is a script language, however some perl modules 
are compiled against C API's, and hence actually have to be built as 
loadable objects.  The ARS perl modules is one of those modules requiring 
compilation, and you need the ARS API libraries available in a format 
useable on the platform you intend to build ARSPerl on.  I suggest the 
person looking for the Linux versions of the API contact remedy support.
