Actually -l (when combined with -L) is a standard way to specify libraries

generates the appropriate combination of -L and -l options, just specify the
full path to DynaLoader.a, i.e.,
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a.
If I add this path to TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES, cmake generates -l/-L
options, but that does not work:
/usr/bin/gcc -fPIC -O3 -DNDEBUG -Wl,-E -L/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lDynaLoader
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Sorry, I missed the fact that DynaLoader.a had a non-standard name without
the lib prefix. In this case the -L/-l combination of options will not work.
My next suggestion would have been to use SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES with
LINK_FLAGS, but you have already tried that, and from your result above it
obviously puts /usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a above in the
place where you have linking flags (as might be expected) rather than where
libraries should be specified.
So perhaps it is time for a feature request to cmake to add support to
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES for the case of libraries that are named without the
"lib" prefix.
At this point, I think you are pretty close to being stuck. However, there
is one last thing you might want to try.
Make a custom target that uses
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E create_symlink
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
libDynaLoader.a
to create a "lib" symlink version of the library that you can refer to in
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES.
I am pretty sure this will work (especially if you pay attention to target
dependencies), but I haven't tried it myself.
