I'm not sure anybody has done this, except for testing purposes. What's
the goal?

You probably can get away with just building and installing the dynamic
version, then clearing up and building the static version and just install
it under "statperl5" or something. Getting the privlib's exactly right
will be a little more of a challenge.

Good question. The expect build setup allows you to configure and
build in a subdirectory, so you could do several builds from the same
source in different subdirectories without cleaning up. I've wondered
whether perl allows the same thing.

Recent MakeMaker can build both kinds of *extension* in same directory.
e.g. I can build tkperl (perl + Tk static) and .../Tk.so Tk as dynamic
extension.
