[Buildroot] [PATCH] Fix microperl

It gets auto-built with the selection of the autoconf / automake
packages... I'm not sure if it is 100% required, but I do know that if
you are building a system that you plan to use to compile other
software, some flavor of perl is often needed by the config scripts.

I bumped into this issue when attempting to create a system image with
all of the necessary development tools for me to compile software for
the embedded system I am working on... I know it can simply be
cross-compiled, but being able to create a virtual appliance or chroot
tree for people to build software for the target system in is handy.
