This is a bug in the nss package.  It has an executable shell script that has a:

#! /usr/local/bin/perl

in it, which causes RPM to add a dependency on that specific path, and nothing 
is providing the path.

The fix is either, decide this is a sample/demo shell script and remove it from 
the nss package -- or fix the script to use the proper perl location of 
"${bindir}/perl"
