in reply to Source files going into perl interpreter during compilation

If this is just idle interest, the files are all the .c files in the root directory of the distribution, and all the files from the directory for your OS, plus some from ext/ for extensions built into Perl statically (depending on what you answered in ./Configure).

If you have a practical goal you are pursuing, maybe make miniperl or make microperl (resp. the targets in the generated Makefile) or App::staticperl may be of interest to you.

    Thanks.

    I do know how to use a local installation of perl for a practical application after building it myself.

    Let's say I use the default ./Configure settings and build the interpreter. I know it uses some .c files from root distribution directory and some standard library files etc....What I'd like to know if there any way I can point out exactly which .c and .h files (inside the root directory of distribution) were used for the build?

    Thanks
