If it is a local package, why not install it with RPM.  It will complain
about the same missing dependency, but you should be able to override it
with --force (not that I would recommend that lightly, forcing any RPM
to be installed against dependency problems is just opening another can
of worms).  perl packages follow a specific naming convention in Fedora.
 it is usually perl-package-subpackage-etc

There *is* a perl-Chart.noarch package.  Does it contain the
dependencies you are looking for?

I don't see any perl-Math-GSL package in the Fedora repositories (that I
use), not in F22, nor in F21.  That begs the question, where did your
RPM come from?  and what does it need to reference the proper Fedora
dependency properly....  I would complain to the package packager.  If
it comes from a non-redhat .src.rpm, then possibly the spec files needs
to be modified to work correctly with Fedora (and not just be blindly
re-built).
