Yes.

THe perl build system uses itself during the build. Obviously it
can't use itself when built for the target. So we have to build perl
first and then trick the perl build into using parts of the native
build while trying to cross-compile for the target (shared
libraries).

So anything perl related *always* (including any perl modules) always
needs to compile the native version first before the verison for the
target.

We can't use the host perl because we need both the native and target
versions to match - this means not just version numbers but
*everything*, every option and every installed module.

Also while you have have the same verison of perl there's no
guarantee that this would be the case.
