perlquestion monkfan Most revered monks,<br> I've already installed Perl version 5.8.7 in my home directory. But it is build dynamically: <code> bioinfo@sf3:~/.perl/bin[504]$ file perl perl: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped </code> 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: <code> bioinfo@sf3:~/.perl/bin[506]$ ldd perl => /usr/lib/ => /usr/lib/ => /usr/lib/ => /usr/lib/ => /usr/lib/ => /usr/lib/ </code> This dynamically build Perl has given me a [id://606917|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.<br><br> I've looked through <code>./Configure --help</code>, but it doesn't seem to indicate how to build it statically. <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-393886"> <br>Regards,<br> Edward </div></div>
