Would it be possible that, if this requirement is not met, it exits with an informative message instead of just bailing out?

That information message could possibly state something like:

The same version of perl (5.022) as used by Buildroot is not available on your machine.

You may install a local one by running:
perlbrew install perl-5.22.2

Note however that my installtion (Ubuntu 16.04) is missing perlbrew; it is not installed by default.

I am not sure where to go from here. On one side, I thing people dealing with perl would already have such things installed (or be willing to install them) on their machine.

On the other hand, we've always tried to keep Buildroot's requirement on the host as minimal as possible, and perlbrew would be adding yet another dependency.

I'm undecided. But I'd really like the error message, above! ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
