[smokeping-users] problem with --static : Can't locate object method "script_name" via package "dummyCGI" (2.3.6)

[Jean Raby]

Thanks, --static works with the provided patch.

As for the interactive features,
I`m planning to setup perl and speedy in the apache chroot on OpenBSD,
I just haven't had the time to do so,  using --static seemed to be a
quick alternative.

Thanks again for the patch.
