Erik B Knudsen <erkn at fysik.dtu.dk> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation
<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to perl at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 225467: lang/p5-ExtUtils-F77 hardcoded default gfortran version may cause
libgfortran not to be found
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225467



--- Description ---
In the installed perl module F77.pm (in the FreeBSD section), the variable
$gfortran is set to 'gfortran48'. The default version of gfortran installed on
FeŕeeBSD 11 seems to be 6.
This causes the next line: $dir = `$gfortran -print-file-name=libgfortran.a`;
to return empty. This in turn means that libgfortran is not compiled in when
ExtUtils-F77 is used by applications, causing undefined refs.. See bug #225375.
