CC'd to Brendan O'Dea, libperl-dev maintainer.
Brendan, we're discussing building static perl binaries. I was having
trouble doing it on Debian because MakeMaker couldn't find CORE/libperl.a
even after installing libperl-dev. Seems libperl-dev is putting libperl.a
in a place MakeMaker doesn't look for it. If you could have libperl-dev
place a symlink into /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/CORE/ that would make things
healthy again.
The module we're using for testing can be found here in the attachment.

Hmm, Debian's libperl-dev appears to put it in the wrong place.
/usr/lib/libperl.a. That might make sense for Debian, but not for
MakeMaker. I think a symlink is needed:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libperl.a /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/CORE/
now it works.
