		302
		303	F<staticperl mkbundle> has a number of options to control package

		306	F<staticperl> will change this, so watch out :)
		307
		308	The idiom "in order" means "in order that they are specified on the
		309	commandline". If you use a bundle specification file, then the options
		310	will be processed as if they were given in place of the bundle file name.

		318	options are processed.
		319
		320	=item 2. apply all C<--include> and C<--exclude> options, in order.

		328	evaluate any F<.packlist> files.

		481
		482	For example, using this switch, when the L<URI> module is specified, then

		958	=over 4
		959
		960	=item utf8
		961
		962	Some functionality in the utf8 module, such as swash handling (used
		963	for unicode character ranges in regexes) is implemented in the
		964	C<"utf8_heavy.pl"> library:
		965
		966	-M'"utf8_heavy.pl"'
		967
		968	Many Unicode properties in turn are defined in separate modules,
		969	such as C<"unicore/Heavy.pl"> and more specific data tables such as
		970	C<"unicore/To/Digit.pl"> or C<"unicore/lib/Perl/Word.pl">. These tables
		971	are big (7MB uncompressed, although F<staticperl> contains special
		972	handling for those files), so including them on demand by your application
		973	only might pay off.
		974
		975	To simply include the whole unicode database, use:
		976
		977	--incglob '/unicore/*.pl'
		978
		979	=item AnyEvent
		980
		981	AnyEvent needs a backend implementation that it will load in a delayed
		982	fashion. The L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl> backend is the default choice
		983	for AnyEvent if it can't find anything else, and is usually a safe
		984	fallback. If you plan to use e.g. L<EV> (L<POE>...), then you need to
		985	include the L<AnyEvent::Impl::EV> (L<AnyEvent::Impl::POE>...) backend as
		986	well.
		987
		988	If you want to handle IRIs or IDNs (L<AnyEvent::Util> punycode and idn
		989	functions), you also need to include C<"AnyEvent/Util/idna.pl"> and
		990	C<"AnyEvent/Util/uts46data.pl">.
		991
		992	Or you can use C<--usepacklist> and specify C<-MAnyEvent> to include
		993	everything.
		994
		995	=item Carp
		996
		997	Carp had (in older versions of perl) a dependency on L<Carp::Heavy>. As of
		998	perl 5.12.2 (maybe earlier), this dependency no longer exists.
		999
		1000	=item Config
		1001
		1002	The F<perl -V> switch (as well as many modules) needs L<Config>, which in
		1003	turn might need L<"Config_heavy.pl">. Including the latter gives you
		1004	both.
		1005
		1006	=item Term::ReadLine::Perl
		1007
		1008	Also needs L<Term::ReadLine::readline>, or C<--usepacklist>.
		1009
		1010	=item URI
		1011
		1012	URI implements schemes as separate modules - the generic URL scheme is
		1013	implemented in L<URI::_generic>, HTTP is implemented in L<URI::http>. If
		1014	you need to use any of these schemes, you should include these manually,
		1015	or use C<--usepacklist>.

		1023	=item Linking everything in
		1024
		1025	To link just about everything installed in the perl library into a new
		1026	perl, try this:
		1027
		1028	staticperl mkperl --strip ppi --incglob '*'
		1029
		1030	=item Getting rid of netdb function
		1031
		1032	The perl core has lots of netdb functions (C<getnetbyname>, C<getgrent>
		1033	and so on) that few applications use. You can avoid compiling them in by
		1034	putting the following fragment into a C<preconfigure> hook:
		1035
		1036	preconfigure() {
		1037	for sym in \
		1038	d_getgrnam_r d_endgrent d_endgrent_r d_endhent \
		1039	d_endhostent_r d_endnent d_endnetent_r d_endpent \
		1040	d_endprotoent_r d_endpwent d_endpwent_r d_endsent \
		1041	d_endservent_r d_getgrent d_getgrent_r d_getgrgid_r \
		1042	d_getgrnam_r d_gethbyaddr d_gethent d_getsbyport \
		1043	d_gethostbyaddr_r d_gethostbyname_r d_gethostent_r \
		1044	d_getlogin_r d_getnbyaddr d_getnbyname d_getnent \
		1045	d_getnetbyaddr_r d_getnetbyname_r d_getnetent_r \
		1046	d_getpent d_getpbyname d_getpbynumber d_getprotobyname_r \
		1047	d_getprotobynumber_r d_getprotoent_r d_getpwent \
		1048	d_getpwent_r d_getpwnam_r d_getpwuid_r d_getsent \
		1049	d_getservbyname_r d_getservbyport_r d_getservent_r \
		1050	d_getspnam_r d_getsbyname
		1051	# d_gethbyname
		1052	do
		1053	PERL_CONFIGURE="$PERL_CONFIGURE -U$sym"
		1054	done
		1055	}
		1056
		1057	This mostly gains space when linking staticaly, as the functions will
		1058	likely not be linked in. The gain for dynamically-linked binaries is
		1059	smaller.
		1060
		1061	Also, this leaves C<gethostbyname> in - not only is it actually used
		1062	often, the L<Socket> module also exposes it, so leaving it out usually
		1063	gains little. Why Socket exposes a C function that is in the core already
		1064	is anybody's guess.
