Yes this would be nice. But this is a deficiency in the RPM system. :(
This dependency has been corrected to /usr/bin/perl in the new 3.23.31
RPMs.

What do you mean, "It doesn't work"? What does it do?

There *may* (?) be some confusion here with the usage of the '-p'
option. If you did everything verbatim as you stated above, then you
the root password is currently (at your point of failure) set to
nothing. So when the "Enter password:" prompt comes, just hit enter.
After this, 'newpass' will take effect.
