Okay, so even though CMake succeeded on my system without setting
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, I set it anyway. I then deleted all the CMake
generated file, and ran CMake again. This time CMake said that it found
Perl in the location I wanted CMake to find it, and the build
configuration succeeded. I'm hoping this proves my configuration will
work without Cygwin.

With your previous code it switched to "config-mode" and was searching for a
PerlConfig.cmake, which it didn't find.
So, if you want cmake to find a specific version of something, set your
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH so that it contains the root directory of that software.
The directories in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH will be searched first.
(works both as an environment variable as well as a cmake variable).
