The module setup process can't find the gobject-introspection-1.0.pc
file on your system.  You need to install the -dev (Debian/Ubuntu) or
-devel (Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS) packages for the corresponding
gobject-introspection package before you'll be able to build the
Glib::Object::Introspection Perl module.

What distro are you using?

Thanks,
