It's been quite a while since I've had to think about that. For sure, 
building with EMBED should work. Building with thread support may or may 
not work. It may be convenient to build a dynamic/shared libperl, 
instead of the default static but that's up to you. I'm a fan of dynamic 
linking, but it really only pays off when you know you'll have more than 
one instance of a piece of code in use at the same time. Otherwise it's 
a waste.
