Most revered monks,
I've already installed Perl version 5.8.7 in my home directory. But it is build dynamically: 
bioinfo@sf3:~/.perl/bin[504]$ file perl
perl:  ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, 
+not stripped

[download]
Is there a way to build it "statically" so that all the Perl library can be installed in my home in whole. Unlike now, those libraries has to be called from other places: 
bioinfo@sf3:~/.perl/bin[506]$ ldd perl
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2

This dynamically build Perl has given me a problem, because the Apache server where my CGI script resides (needing newer Perl compiler) and those libraries are stored in different machines in my office network.

I've looked through ./Configure --help, but it doesn't seem to indicate how to build it statically.

Regards,
Edward
