Patch

Emmanuele says:

"Yes, you can always assume they are there if Perl is there

If people go out of their way to install Perl and remove the core modules,
aside from breaking everything they can also add them back

It's not going to be any more complicated than installing a non-core module"

So sorry to trash your work Tom, but we don't need to test for JSON::PP, and
File::Copy::Recursive is a no-go. I think we should just never make the CMake
build depend on any non-core Perl modules.
