perlcc bug - can't find perl library on QNX port

Link fails when running 'perlcc' on any small piece of code. The following
message appears in the log file​:

cc warning​: cc​: cannot find library 'perl'

It fails because the link command generated by 'perlcc' doesn't refere to
the right library name.

On 'QNX', the perl library name is 'libperl3r.lib' *NOT* 'perl.lib'.

I was able to modify 'perlcc' to solve the problem by changing the
following lines of code which should be ok on all platform (i think)​:
