The Net::Z3950::SimpleServer Perl module requires the YAZ toolkit: the development version 1.7 or any subsequent version is fine. You can download it via this link,
http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/yaz/development/
You need to configure the YAZ toolkit with the command
% ./configure --enable-shared
Then compile and install
% make
# make install
You don't need to install YAZ globally on your machine if you prefer not to. In this case, you just have to update the Makefile.PL with the locations of the libraries.
2. Installation
Unpack the tar ball this way
% gunzip Net-Z3950-SimpleServer-xxxx.tar.gz
% tar xvf Net-Z3950-SimpleServer-xxxx.tar.gz
and cd to the root directory of the module package
% cd Net-Z3950-SimpleServer-xxxx
The installation takes place by issuing the following commands:
% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make test
# make install
The last command has to be issued as super user.
Good luck!
