Hi All,

I am new to Perl and experimenting static linking of modules in Perl. I have compiled a Perl without support for dynamic loading.

Normally I link any modules using xs_init call. Say If I were to load a module Filter::Util::Call, I will create a entry within xs_init function, which in turn is passed as argument to perl_parse.

xs_init(pTHX) { 
char *file = __FILE__; 
dXSUB_SYS; 
newXS("Filter::Util::Call::bootstrap",
       boot_Filter__Util__Call,file); 
}

PerlInterpreter *my_perl; 
#allocate memory for my_perl, construct my_perl, system initialization
+ 
... 
perl_parse(my_perl, xs_init, argc, args, loc_environ);

Now I am trying to use DB_File module. Seems like DB_File depends on AUTOLOAD. Is there a way where can I statically load DB_File module as shown above. Or am I missing something about DB_File.
