If I'm using the machine solely as a webserver (running mod_perl), does it matter if I build Perl statically or shared? If it doesn't matter (or if it's actually better for Perl to be static in this scenario), then I think I'm all set (using your patch). However, if the consensus is that I'd be better off with Perl built shared, then how do I "link perl's libperl.so to mod_perl's libperl.a"? Thanks again for the help. (I plan to post a detailed build script once this is all done.)
