1) You should always be suspicious when -nodeps seems to be needed. ;-)

2) That looks like my package's name... and it realy was intended for
   Red Hat 6.2 (is that why you needed -nodeps, I hope?). RH 7.2
   likely has a newer version of Perl, one which looks in different
   directories for Perl modules. E.G., my package may have dropped
   Curses.pm in /lib/perl/5.005/ but the version of Perl shipped with
   RH 7.2 might be looking in /lib/perl/5.6.0/ or seomething.

  rpm -ql perl-Curses | grep Curses.pm
will tell you where the Curses module you installed ended up
  perl -e 'print(join(":",@INC)."\n");'
will tell you where Perl looks for it (ala PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

But that's all academic; you want a perl-Curses that was built for RH7.2
