+.SH NAME
+perllinux \- Perl version 5 on Linux systems
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This document describes various features of Linux that will affect how Perl
+version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.
+.SS "Deploying Perl on Linux"
+.IX Subsection "Deploying Perl on Linux"
+Normally one can install \fI/usr/bin/perl\fR on Linux using your distribution's
+package manager (e.g: \f(CW\*(C`sudo apt\-get install perl\*(C'\fR, or
+\&\f(CW\*(C`sudo dnf install perl\*(C'\fR). Note that sometimes one needs to install some
+extra system packages in order to be able to use CPAN frontends, and that
+messing with the system's perl is not always recommended. One can use
+perlbrew <https://perlbrew.pl/> to avoid such issues.
+.PP
+Otherwise, perl should build fine on Linux using the mainstream compilers
+GCC and clang, while following the usual instructions.
+.SS "Experimental Support for Sun Studio Compilers for Linux OS"
+.IX Subsection "Experimental Support for Sun Studio Compilers for Linux OS"
+Sun Microsystems has released a port of their Sun Studio compilers for
+Linux.  As of May 2019, the last stable release took place on 2017, and one can
+buy support contracts for them.
+.PP
+There are some special instructions for building Perl with Sun Studio on
+Linux.  Following the normal \f(CW\*(C`Configure\*(C'\fR, you have to run make as follows:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&    LDLOADLIBS=\-lc make
+.Ve
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`LDLOADLIBS\*(C'\fR is an environment variable used by the linker to link
+\&\f(CW\*(C`/ext\*(C'\fR modules to glibc.  Currently, that environment variable is not getting
+populated by a combination of \f(CW\*(C`Config\*(C'\fR entries and \f(CW\*(C`ExtUtil::MakeMaker\*(C'\fR.
+While there may be a bug somewhere in Perl's configuration or
+\&\f(CW\*(C`ExtUtil::MakeMaker\*(C'\fR 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.
