meta-qt5 build can't find Perl

Hello,

I'm trying to build AsteroidOS, an OpenEmbedded distribution that depends on meta-qt5 and "bitbake qtbase-native" complains that it can't find Perl.

I do have Perl 5.24.1 installed and I also tried to first run "bitbake perl" bit it does not fix the issue.

I reported the error downstream (https://github.com/AsteroidOS/asteroid/issues/55) byt they suggested it is a QT bug.

Here is the full log:
