Hi, the modules still get built and put into the Perl5lib, the only difference with static is that the Perl executable is standalone and does not require a libperl.so. I guess I will back up and just try it and report what happens. :-) What the question really is will the linking to modules change in some way if the libperl is in an external .so file rather than in one monolithic file. From the early days I always built the static Perl because the general consensus was that it loaded ever so slightly faster.
