Firstly I'm also a circos user:) It's really not simple to install circos on win/linux/mac for perl and the modules circos needs. Above my practice you'd better do like this from very begin: install perl (choose the very popular new version). In most of the cases, you have it already installed on your System as several Operating systems have it pre-installed. To check whether you have it on.
