    use DPKG::Parse::Packages;

    my $packages = DPKG::Parse::Packages->new(
        'filename' => '/usr/src/packages/Packages',
    );
    while (my $entry = $packages->next_package) { 
        print $entry->package . " " . $entry->version . "\n";
    }

    my $postfix = $packages->get_package('name' => 'postfix');
