Subject: [PATCH] meson: fix perl dependencies
Message-ID: <371571630df201b0b0c680f6437decc6c60ecd3b.1736307757.git.sam@gentoo.org>

```
`generate_perl_command` needs `depends: [git_version_file]` and the uses
in top-level meson.build were fine, but the ones in perl/ weren't, causing
parallel build failures in some cases as GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS wasn't yet
available.

Thanks for your patch! The change looks obviously correct to me.

Thanks, both.  Will fast-track to 'master' before the final gets
tagged, but we may want to advertise 'meson' support still as work
in progress in the release notes.
