[CMake] Can't configure Perl on Windows

[Tron Thomas]

Because Perl is not included with Windows by default, I including Perl 
in the source distribution of the project.  This means that the Perl 
executable is located in a directory below the root of the source tree.  
So "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/<Path to Perl>" does correctly specify the 
version of Perl to be used by this project on the Windows platform.
