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
