You seem to have neither 'Heap::Simple::XS' nor 'Heap::Simple::Perl' installed. That should not stop this package from getting installed (in fact, you'll need to install this package before you can install any of the other two). However, this package won't be usable until you install one (or both) of these two. Checking if your kit is complete...
