Re: pl/perl won't build under 7.1.3

Hi,

I "fixed" the Makefile.PL script under src/pl/plperl and
removed the if ($Config{'useshrplib'} ne 'true') { ... } code.

This will link in the static libperl.a file. The only down side
of this is your libplperl.so file is going to be larger.

Let me know if this works for you also.

PS. Running on RedHat Linux version 4.x to 7.2 with the above hack.
