Oops !  Sorry ! I withdraw my request to know how to make perl static.  :-)

OK, it would be nice to learn from an abstract academic view,
but I no longer Need to know:
	( As I've found my procmail problem with both emil & demime
	(demime uses perl) was not due to shared libs not being
	found in /usr/local, but was instead being caused by my
	typo. a rogue 'h' rather than 'H' in a macro my makefile
	generates procmailrc recipes with, so no mail body was being passed. )
My ports/mail/demime is now running fine on 9.1-RELEASE (despite not being
in freebsd.org/ports )

Cheers,
Julian
