Hi Andreas,

obviously you've found a simpler method to achieve the same goal
and your tests are more complete. It seems to me, however, that it has the 
same weaknesses as my current version

- libperl.so is not found (at least not on Fedora and redhat CentOS, I didn't 
recognize because swig does not need it)
- changing the perl interpreter would not change the libraries and include 
paths (as Tristan pointed out for my second FindSWIG.cmake)

If I find the time I will fix these issues and put them into the bug fix.
I will use your simpler version of determining perl variables and will
add the variables you test as well.

Thanks for the feedback.
