FindPerl
--------

Finds a Perl interpreter:

.. code-block:: cmake

  find_package(Perl [<version>] [...])

Perl is a general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.

Result Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This module defines the following variables:

``Perl_FOUND``
  Boolean indicating whether the (requested version of) Perl executable is
  found.  For backward compatibility, the ``PERL_FOUND`` variable is also
  set to the same value.

``Perl_VERSION``
  .. versionadded:: 4.2

  The version of Perl found.

Cache Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The following cache variables may also be set:

``PERL_EXECUTABLE``
  Full path to the ``perl`` executable.

Deprecated Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The following variables are provided for backward compatibility:

``PERL_VERSION_STRING``
  .. deprecated:: 4.2
    Superseded by the ``Perl_VERSION``.

  The version of Perl found.

Examples
^^^^^^^^

Finding the Perl interpreter and executing it in a process:

.. code-block:: cmake

  find_package(Perl)

  if(Perl_FOUND)
    execute_process(COMMAND ${PERL_EXECUTABLE} --help)
  endif()

^^^^^^^^

* The :module:`FindPerlLibs` to find Perl libraries.
