Hi, Niels.

As Rob mentioned, you will need ExtUtils::F77. However, I ran into a couple
of problems with ExtUtils::F77 on my Ubuntu 11.10 install. Since Mint is an
Ubuntu derivative, I wanted to give you a heads up. I outline my problems
and solutions in the mailing list here:
http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/pipermail//pdl-porters/2012-February/004482.html

Hope that is of use to you.

- Tim
