Signed-off-by: Vicente Olivert Riera <Vincent.Riera@imgtec.com> --- Changes v2 -> v3: - Add comments about why each module is needed. (Suggested by Baruch Siach) Changes v1 -> v2: - Check first for perl itself, and then the modules. Also keep the comment which says that perl is needed to build host-autoconf.
