Just keep in mind that you probably do not want "static perl" you probably 
just want to use "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++" compiler flags (which 
might introduce another unwanted side effects).

Try to run dmake like this:
dmake "BUILDOPTEXTRA=-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"

I have not tried it, this is just my guess.

As Gabor mentioned if you want to try to build your custom Strawberry Perl 
start here:
