IMO it's because this RPM is badly specified. /usr/local is certainly
not the standard place for Perl, no matter where you believe it should
be.  Also it shouldn't be checking for the presence of the pathname but
for a capability called perl whose version is >= 5. You could bypass the
problem by using --nodeps, but you may have to adjust some Perl scripts.
