    Description

      qt5's configure system uses perl only if a ".git" folder is detected, both on linux and on windows

      qt6's cmake build does not seem to do the same, because when trying to build the official alpha tarball, I get this error:

      -- Could NOT find WrapSystemPCRE2 (missing: PCRE2_LIBRARIES __pcre2_found)
CMake Error at qtbase/cmake/QtSyncQtHelpers.cmake:7 (message):
  Perl needs to be available to build Qt.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  qtbase/cmake/QtSyncQtHelpers.cmake:12 (qt_ensure_perl)
  qtbase/cmake/QtModuleHelpers.cmake:168 (qt_ensure_sync_qt)
  qtbase/src/corelib/CMakeLists.txt:29 (qt_internal_add_module)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

      There seem to be a way to disable perl here but I could not find a way to set properly this "NO_SYNC_QT" variable.
