I think use execute_process to execute a command like perl -MSys::CPU -e "" So, something like execute_process(COMMAND ${PERL_EXECUTABLE} -MSys::CPU -e "" ERROR_QUIET RESULT_VARIABLE status) if ${status} is zero then the module exists, otherwise it doesn't. You can wrap it in a function, obviously. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
