DESCRIPTION
This script helps you to create single-file perl interpreters or
applications, or embedding a perl interpreter in your applications.
Single-file means that it is fully self-contained - no separate shared
objects, no autoload fragments, no .pm or .pl files are needed. And when
linking statically, you can create (or embed) a single file that
contains perl interpreter, libc, all the modules you need, all the
libraries you need and of course your actual program.
With uClibc and upx on x86, you can create a single 500kb binary that
contains perl and 100 modules such as POSIX, AnyEvent, EV, IO::AIO, Coro
and so on. Or any other choice of modules (and some other size :).
To see how this turns out, you can try out smallperl and bigperl, two
pre-built static and compressed perl binaries with many and even more
modules.
You get even more useful variants of this method by first selecting
everything, and then excluding stuff you are reasonable sure not to
need - bigperl <http://staticperl.schmorp.de/bigperl.html> uses this
approach.
Getting rid of netdb functions
The perl core has lots of netdb functions ("getnetbyname",
"getgrent" and so on) that few applications use. You can avoid
compiling them in by putting the following fragment into a
"preconfigure" hook:
preconfigure() {
for sym in \
d_getgrnam_r d_endgrent d_endgrent_r d_endhent \
d_endhostent_r d_endnent d_endnetent_r d_endpent \
d_endprotoent_r d_endpwent d_endpwent_r d_endsent \
d_endservent_r d_getgrent d_getgrent_r d_getgrgid_r \
d_getgrnam_r d_gethbyaddr d_gethent d_getsbyport \
d_gethostbyaddr_r d_gethostbyname_r d_gethostent_r \
