sorry, guess i was just being lazy. i found the INSTALLTIME tag or
i can just use:

$ rpm -q --last perl

to know the time at which this package is installed. by the way, any
chance i can know which root user installed this package? is this even
recorded by rpm, or can i somehow add this information to the database?
i currently have five users with uid=0, and i'd like to know which of
these four actually installed a certain package.

but if that is not possible, i can always alias or wrap the 'rpm'
command to some script.
