getting / building strawberry perl.lib

I have strawberry perl x64 installed for windows.
Unfortunately, i can't find a perl.xxx.lib. Only perl.5.16.2.dll.
I need the lib in order to write a perl-c++ wrapper with swig. (The project needs the lib for linking)
Anyone knows what to do in order to get the lib (can i build it ?)
Thank you

As David W pointed to:

libperl516.a

is what i am looking for. VC2008 can use it for linking.

Run the following command:

C> perl -V

This will produce a lot of output, and some of it might be useful for you. For example, part of my output was:

libc=, so=dll, useshrplib=true, libperl=libperl516.a

The libperl512.a file was located under the perl/lib/CORE directory where I installed Strawberry Perl.

Is that what you're looking for? Otherwise, look at the Config module and see if there's anything of interest. I did the following:

use Config;

print "$Config{_a}\n";

And it prints out .a.

Try this one for fun:

use Config;

for $key (sort keys %Config) {
    print "$key: $Config{$key}\n" if $Config{$key};
}

Somewhere in the output should be something interesting.
