What's Perl usually compiled with?

RMS has never said the Linux system is called GNU/Linux. People who think he
does do not listen/read carefully. He *asks* people to call it that for PR, as
to quote him from last tuesday "we really need it". The point is, GNU needs
publicising. Also, Linux can run without X-Windows, it can't compile without
gcc.

How about "GNU and Linux London Users Group"? (i.e. without the /)

The term "Greater London" is archaic anyway. I think this would be a great
gesture and might even get a mention on Linux Today or something...
