title: Howto update Perl v5.8.8 for git?
body: <p>I have following Problem.</p>
  
  <p>I want to build Qt5 by my own, to be able to use it with Visual Studio 2012. I followed the instructions in the <a href="http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building-Qt-5-from-Git#0b79795d3efc95b9976c7c5b933afce2" rel="nofollow">Qt Wiki</a>. </p>
  
  <p>My problem is that when I try to call init-repository</p>
  
  <pre><code>perl init-repository
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Hint: Make sure that Perl is added to the path in front of git since that ships an outdated version (Perl 5.8), which will cause the scripts to fail.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is because the with git shipped perl version is 5.8.8. It doesn't matter, that I have the newest version installed.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone tell me how to update my perl version inside git, to be able to build Qt5?</p>
  
  <p>Regards</p>
