Re: Building PL/Perl without libperl.so fails

Palle,

While this should be doable (by patching configure/Makefiles), why would you 
not want to have libperl.so?

On many systems, the .a files are considered 'development', while the .so 
files are considered 'runtime'. Or is the libperl.a on FreeBSD 5.0 different?
