make perl

should do. If you have dynamic loading and want to test the static
one, then 'make test' will probably better be called as

make test FULLPERL=./perl

If your machine normally builds dynamic extensions then
Makefile support building both by saying:

make LINKTYPE=static # prepare
make perl LINKTYPE=static # build a perl with your extn.

You can also (I believe) do this in Makefile.PL:

WriteMakefile(
'linkext' => { LINKTYPE => 'static'},
....
);

To force it that way - have not tried it yet.
