[CMake] CDash + Perforce

[David Cole]

And, to answer your initial question, no, perforce is not yet an
officially supported version control system for use with ctest -S
scripts and CDash.

The ones that are include:
  git
  svn
  cvs
  hg
  bzr

Additional code needs to be added to both ctest and CDash in order to
support new version control systems.


HTH,
David
