NAME
       README.linux - Perl version 5 on Linux systems

DESCRIPTION
       This document describes various features of Linux that will affect how Perl version
       5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.

       Experimental Support for Sun Studio Compilers for Linux OS

       Sun Microsystems has released a port of their Sun Studio compiliers for Linux.  As
       of November 2005, only an alpha version has been released.  Until a release of
       these compilers is made, support for compiling Perl with these compiler experimen-
       tal.

       Also, some special instructions for building Perl with Sun Studio on Linux.  Fol-
       lowing the normal "Configure", you have to run make as follows:

           LDLOADLIBS=-lc make

       "LDLOADLIBS" is an environment variable used by the linker to link modules "/ext"
       modules to glibc.  Currently, that environment variable is not getting populated by
       a combination of "Config" entries and "ExtUtil::MakeMaker".  While there may be a
       bug somewhere in Perl's configuration or "ExtUtil::MakeMaker" causing the problem,
       the most likely cause is an incomplete understanding of Sun Studio by this author.
       Further investigation is needed to get this working better.
