Is static linking with openssl supported?

[vadimkantorov]

I'm looking to link an "embedded perl" with all libraries linked in statically, including openssl libs.

Does Net::SSLeay support working with such symbols exported by the perl binary itself? (without dlopen'ing the libcrypto.so / libssl.so and instead linking with libcrypto.a / libssl.a)

https://metacpan.org/dist/Net-SSLeay/view/lib/Net/SSLeay.pod does not mention word static, hence me asking the question

But given that libcrypto is used via *.xs, static linking should work, right?

Thanks!
