I tried both approaches: symlinking Config_dynamic.pl to
Config_heavy.pl, leaving Perl configured *without* libperl.so; and
reconfiguring and recompiling ActivePerl to produce libperl.so.  Both
worked - or at least, perlapp produced output in both cases, where it
previously was not.

Why wouldn't I want to compile ActivePerl from source? :)

The ActiveState website doesn't list the configuration for binaries, so
I'd have to install it to find out if it was configured like I wanted.
(I just did that, and I see that it does happen to be, so I could have
gone this route.)

While I understand that support is simpler when everybody's on the same
page, I'm by nature leery of relinquishing freedom for safety's sake ;).

Thanks very much for your help.

Steve
