Methods:

new

            

              
              
creates a new object of the class
            
          

getRpms(result(Array Reference), search pattern(scalar))

            

              
              
searches for all installed rpm's containing the search pattern
and saves them in an Array
if no search pattern is refered, all installed rpm's are saved
returns 0 on succes - 1 on failure
            
          

getRpmFiles((result(Hash Reference), rpmname(scalar))

            

              
              
searches for all files and directories which belong to the refered rpm - name
and saves them in a Hash of Hashes  
returns 0 on succes - 1 on failure
            
          

getRpmVer()

            

              
              
gets the version of rpm and returns it
            
          

getRpmInfo((result(Hash Reference), rpmname(scalar))

            

              
              
gets Infos about the specified rpm and saves them into 
a Hash of Hashes
returns 0 on succes - 1 on failure
            
          

getRpmRequirements((result(Array Reference), rpmname(scalar))

            

              
              
gets all the requirements of the specified rpm and saves them into an array
returns 0 on succes - 1 on failure
            
          

getRpmInfoRaw((result(Array Reference), rpmname(scalar))

            

              
              
gets Infos about the specified rpm and saves the output
line-by-line in an array 
       returns 0 on succes - 1 on failure
            
          

getRpmRequirements((result(Array Reference), rpmname(scalar))

            

              
              
       gets all the rpm names that depend on the specified rpm 
and saves them into an array
       returns 0 on succes - 1 on failure
