  If you should be able to find evidence of this in the Config variable
  lddlflags. From the command line, you can:

    perl -V:lddlflags

  and from inside a perl program

    use Config;
    if ($Config{lddlflags} =~ /shared/) {}

  In general, you should be able to look for a '-shared' or a '-static'
  flag, but this might not be foolproof dependinf upon what compiler/loader
  was used to build perl.
