Fix msvc builds for ActivePerl > 5.24

From this version ActivePerl ships both a .lib and a .a file for the
perl library, which our code would detect as there being no library
available. Instead, we should pick the .lib version and use that.

Report and suggested fix in bug #15065

Sounds reasonable, but ...

... the behavior doesn't match the comment. By default, glob() sorts by ASCII
value, so @perl_libs = qw(libperl524.a perl524.lib).

That's what I get for actually assuming the submission matched the
description, and not properly testing.

Not being a perl guy, I've committed what I think is a correct fix.

Thanks for the spot!
