+From e733241fb580f032efbbe684ec35d4c9d27f1595 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Alexander Kanavin <alex.kanavin@gmail.com>
+Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2016 13:38:39 +0300
+Subject: [PATCH] Do not error out if perl is not found or its version is too
+ old.
+
+This allows use to avoid depending on perl-native if we're not going
+to use it (when api-docs are disabled).

+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe-core specific]
