I don't think it's correct to use literally "-L$(PERL_INC) -lperl",
although it might be in many installations. The correct values should
obtained from "perl -V:<variable>", and I already provided the
variables that should be used here. E.g., if the user has Active Perl
installed, like I do, the "-lperl" part should be replaced with
"-lperl520" (for Perl 5.20.X).
On Cygwin, "perl -V:libperl" returns "libperl='cygperl5_22.dll';", but
you wouldn't guess from this that you should use "-lperl" for linking
(i.e., the actual import library is libperl.dll.a).
Moreover, on Posix hosts I'm not sure it's TRT to link against
libperl.a, as that's a static library, and Unix doesn't need import
libraries to link against shared libraries at run time.
Are you sure that using -lperl on Posix hosts would link against
libperl.a rather than libperl.so? I thought the whole point of the '-l'
was so that the linker would choose the appropriate library, depending
on the context.
