I'm trying to compile an XS into perl [ed(ikegami): which is to say he's using ::MakeMaker's make perl to create a perl with a C vendor library statically linked in ] but when I do, the new version of perl does not support dynamic loading of modules. Any time I try to run perl code that has something like use Socket (or any other module), I get:

Can't load module Socket, dynamic loading not available in this perl.

Is there a compiler/linker switch I'm setting incorrectly or something? All of this was compiled back in 1998 and again in 2004 on a different box (hpux old on PA-RISC), but we're moving to a new box (hpux11 itanium) and I'm hitting the wall.

Here's is my Makefile.PL:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.
WriteMakefile(
    'NAME'      => 'Udtutil',
    'VERSION_FROM' => 'Udtutil.pm', # finds $VERSION
    'LIBS'      => '-L/usr/ud/PFUSION/Udtutil -L/usr/ud/lib -lapidummy ' .
                   '-lshare -ludsql -ludmach -lbasic ' .
                   '-lperf -lret1 -lides -lpipe -lfunc -lndx -lrep -lshm ' .
                   '-lmglm -lulc -lglm -ltpmem2 -lcmn ' .
                   '-llicn -ludus -lunix -lbci -lunirpc -lxmldl -leda ' .
                   '-lsslU2097e -lcryptoU2097e ' .
                   '-lodbc -lstd_v2 -lstream -lCsup -lpthread -lm -lcl ' .
                   '-ldld ' .
                   '-lnfaclnt -lodsdummy -lcl ' .
                   '-lCsup -lcl -lelf -lm -lcurses -lsec -lpam ',
    'INC'       => '-I/usr/ud/include',     # e.g., '-I/usr/include/other' 
    'OPTIMIZE'  => '-O -Ae +DD64 -q -z +u4 -w ',
    'LINKTYPE'  => 'dynamic',
    'OBJECT'    => '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT) funchead.o interfunc.o callcf.o efs_init.o',
);

Here's my .xs file, Udtutil.xs

#ifdef __cplusplus
