RPM dependencies are different to having the software installed.

i.e. installing via CPAN will not resolve the failed dependencies (as
you noticed).

Installing with --nodeps will work, but a better solution (speaking
about RPM-based systems in general) is to install the missing packages,
e.g.:

# yum install perl-XML-Parser perl-Digest-SHA1
