No, there is still only one copy in memory (or two if applications are running which use the embedded interpreter). In fact, static linking needs less non-sharable per-process data because tables for dynamic relocations are not needed. The savings are perhaps not as pronounced for the Perl interpreter because it is linked with --export-dynamic (or equivalent) to export symbols to Perl XS modules. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
