Perl module Set::IntervalTree is not installing

Question

Please help me resolve this issue. I am trying to install a Perl module Set::IntervalTree in Ubuntu. I am repeatedly receiving the following error:

Look at this part of the error message:

c++: not found

If you type the command that fails, ubuntu tells you what package provides it:

$ c++

The program 'c++' can be found in the following packages:
 - g++
 - clang

Type this to install it: sudo apt-get install g++

Hope this helps
