Buildroot expects perl to be installed on the host system already. See §2.1 
(Mandatory packages) in the manual. AFAIK host-perl is only used to build perl 
itself for the target.

Have you encountered any specific build failure?

Thanks for the reminder, I haven't checked if perl was a mandatory packages
