I had this problem as well. Unfortunately, I can't find my source to back up my words, but I believe that RPM::Database was written for RPM version 4.0. Red Hat 9 uses RPM version 4.2, and it's not backwards compatible. I wound up using: $var=`rpm -qil`; and going from there to pull out information I neede, but even then, I lost information (architecture being the one I was particularly missing). There have been other packages that have not installed for me under RH9. Mail::SpamAssassin and HTML::Parser being two. I installed perl from source, and that helped, although I still had to force install HTML::Parser.
