PERlCC & DBI

flowerpig has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

I'm trying to compile a perl program into binary using perlcc. The perl script uses "DBI.pm".

After I compiled it and ran it I got the error:

Can't load module DBI, dynamic loading not available in this perl.
(You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports
dynamic loading or has the DBI module statically linked into it.)
at /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 158
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 158.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at strictcommon.pl line 21.

Any ideas why it's not linking to DBI.so? This is a potato box...

Thanks in advance,

The number one advice I can give on `perlcc` is "don't". Be sure you read "How can I compile my Perl program into byte code or C?" even if it's a bit out of date. The bottom paragraph still definitely applies. If you can read that, and then come back and explain why you still want to compile, that'd make for an interesting discussion, so please do. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

I can write in perl much easier/quicker than i can write in C/C++ (note - talking weeks here, not hours or days), and i would like to run the code on machines that i know will not have perl installed. For me, compiling into a static binary would be very useful... (actually, i have managed a dynamic binary, just cannot yet work out the last step to get a fully static one). N.	[reply]
