[Development] Qt5 combined source package - Perl dependency

[Friedemann Kleint]

Hi,

 >One of the most commented problems has been Perl dependency, 
especially on Windows.

I have to admit I do not really see the point of it as long as QtWebKit 
requires Ruby and Python. In my view, requiring a scripting language it 
is acceptable as long as a single, unified language is used. Most 
projects on Windows require scripting languages for test automation, 
packaging, etc.

For people building from git on Windows, the Perl problem will disappear 
in the moment the msysgit project decides to update the outdated Perl 
version it ships (currently 5.8 or so, which currently has problems with 
syncqt). This would make Perl an ideal candidate.

Regards,
Friedemann
