I agree that there's a tool for every job. In my case Perl would be the right tool. The code with LibYAML is just the tip of the iceberg (a proof of concept). Behind my example there is actually a good codebase that I'm not willing to rewrite and that make a single static Perl executable the right choice my use case... But unfortunately I can't find good simple examples on how to get it done. App::staticperl, like I said, is a huge mess that packs over 100 libs in one big Perl based on 5.12. But I guess there's no other way of doing it but by going over that code and see if I can figure it out.
