SPUG: perl built with static or dynamic loading

Something that I would expect would work:
$ perl -MDynaLoader -e 1

If DynaLoader isn't available as a module, then Perl is statically
bound.

Something else that might work but might give you false positives on the
dynamic side:
$ perl -V:d_dlopen

This will tell you (under Unix and friends at least) if it is possible
to dynamically load a shared object.  This would generally mean that
Perl has been built dynamically, but it wouldn't be required; it would
just be weird not to.
