 -su-2.05b# rpm -i --ignoreos --root /compat/linux --dbpath
 /var/lib/rpm package.i386.rpm
 error: failed dependencies:
 /usr/bin/perl is needed by package

 -su-2.05b# whereis perl
 perl: /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/man/man1/perl.1.gz
 /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl

 So I am guessing that compat/linux ought to have perl in /usr/bin.  I
 tried making a soft link but that didnt work.

 I havent found a port for perl in linux, any ideas how to resolve
 this?

Did you upgrade perl and forget to do the use.perl port. There are
links that the script creates and when you create a new bin/perl, they
have to be restablished.
