This step is not needed. gnucash can be built perfectly fine with the 
msys-perl version that gets installed automatically via install.sh. This 
is so since I bumped the version to 5.8.x. It's ancient, I know, but 
sufficient for the needs of building gnucash.

And I'd rather remove the manual step of installing strawberry/active 
perl again. I went through a lot of effort to make building on Windows 
as simple as possible. Each extra manual step raises the barrier again.
