Thats because it works out the dependencies from the rpm database.  If
you're sure that your perl install is complete you can try passing the
nodeps option to install.sh which will probably make everything okay
(unless there is something missing in your install in which case it will
make everything very bad - but, hey, its bad already)

Any particular reason you installed perl from source on an rpm based
distro?
