Its been a while since I needed to use Fortran - a language I don't
speak (I was installing XFOIL last time I used it).
The GNU Fortran compiler is a front end for gcc, the GNU C compiler. It
used to be called f77 and is now called gfortran: I don't know when the
name changed. Under RedHat Fedora 14 the fortran compiler package is
called gcc-gfortran. Its installed by default in Fedora 14, so 'man
gfortran' tells about using the compiler and running 'gfortran --help'
displays its help message.
If you don't have gfortran installed, try searching for a gcc-gfortran
or gfortran packageto install. If that doesn't help, ask on your
distro's forum.

GIYF. In this case Google told me that ExtUtils::F77 is not a compiler:
it is a Perl module that helps a developer to work out how to link C
programs with Fortran subroutines.
