Well, perl is built in statically to the modperl DSO..., and you can statically
compile add-on modules into perl, so I think the answer here is yes. You can
statically compile extension modules into perl. I haven't done this in a
while, but it is something that can be done. (This was the defacto way of
doing things back in pre 5 days I think, could anyone verify?... sorry, haven't
been around that long.)
(I should note, it's statically built into my DSO, but if you use a DSO'd
version of libperl that could be different)
Thanks,
Shane.
(This is to answer your question, yes I'm pretty sure you can. Why I thought
he was doing that is a mystery to me, because looking back it doesn't make any
sense that I thought that. But I've been pretty sick the last few days, so
maybe that's to blame.)
