Description

With Proton when I do cmake .. it barfs with

– Trying alternative search for Perl
– PerlLibs Not Found

Though I can get it to play nicely by doing

cmake .. -DPERL_LIBRARY=`locate -n 1 libperl.so`

This might not be so unreasonable as I'm using a fairly old version of Ubuntu that needs upgrading, however the Perl detection on Qpid works perfectly well for me (and I'd assume for others too) which suggests that it's possibly more thorough.

At the very least it would seem sensible to maintain consistency with the cmake modules across various Qpid components.
