(as a sidenote, wether or not perl is linked with -lperl and wether code
is shared are two distinct things. you probably meant that a shared
libperl saves on memory, which is also not true (it might or might not be,
depending on how it was compiled, the os etc..). The only thing a shared
library saves as opposed to a static one is diskspace).
for non-trivial perl programs (i.e. NOT one-liners), most memory is used
by compiled perl code, which is usually not shareable anyway.
and the memory footprint (even on a multiuser system) isn't so much of a
problem either, as most of the time, perl will not be used.
