sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/nxlog-ce/nxlog-ce-2.8.1248.tar.gz
tar zxvf nxlog-ce-2.8.1248.tar.gz
cd nxlog-ce-2.8.1248/
aptitude install libpcre3-dev libapr1-dev libssl-dev libexpat-dev make
./configure

vim /usr/local/etc/nxlog/nxlog.conf
bash -x /etc/init.d/nxlog start

now i am seeing this error

Probably because the xm_perl module did not get built due to missing dependencies.

Why don't you build a proper .deb package with the packaging/debian/make_debs.sh script instead of the above hack?
