Alternative module for RPM::Database on redhat 9.0

[Ramprasad]

I have been using RPM::Database so long but that does not get installed 
on redhat 9.0 ( Gives weird make errors )

Is there an alternative module that I can use.
I need to query the existing rpm db and create a hash of all installed 
modules vs their version-release
like

%rpms = (
            'at' => '3.1.8-20',
            'kdelibs-devel' => '2.2-11',
            'pcre-devel' => '3.4-2',
            'perl-libwww-perl' => '5.53-3',
            'mod_ssl' => '2.8.4-9',
            ......
         );
On friend suggested that I use `rpm -qil` and parse the output. But that 
seems too much for me. Is there no better way

Thanks
Ram
