failing '--all-static --no-dynaloader' options

[fperrad]

an autobuilder of Buildroot detects a building issue with perl-5.20.1-cross-0.9.3 when configuring with --all-static --no-dynaloader, see http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/057/057a4b9976fd6b9c5cddd117a3f29de51efe719f/build-end.log

with perl-5.18.2-cross-0.8.5, this kind of build is OK.
and Scalar-List-Utilsis a new core module with perl 5.20

during the configure step, cpan/Scalar-List-Utils is found:

Can't find .a file for cpan/Scalar-List-Utils

I also ran into this. I think the cause is that Scalar-List-Utils provides no Scalar::List::Utils module. There is also an issue with with PathTools, which provides no PathTools module.

This leads me to believe that "sed -e 's!(cpan|ext|dist)/!!g' -e 's/-/::/g'" is not sufficient to convert a distribution name to a module name. Maybe there is a way to get at the NAME make variable from cpan/Scalar-List-Utils/Makefile?

Merged, seems to be working well for me.

[fperrad]

Ok for me.
The problem seen on Buildroot is fixed.
