[CMake] ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND-question

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

The problem is that I don't call perl directly... It is being called
from within the openssl sources...

I can find perl perfectly with the FindPerl script, but somehow the
add custom command doesn't take the PATH variable into account when
running...
