I am not sure myself sometimes where version becomes release. What about this one?:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Text::Table;

my $tb = Text::Table->new(qw/NAME VERSION RELEASE ARCH/);
while(<DATA>) {
    $tb->load( [ /^(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.(.*)$/ ] );
}
print $tb;

__DATA__
fipscheck-1.2.0-1.el5.x86_64
iptables-ipv6-1.3.5-5.3.el5_4.1.x86_64
libXi-1.0.1-4.el5_4.i386
perl-Carp-Clan-5.3-1.2.1.noarch
rpm-build-4.6.1-2.el5.x86_64
[download]

Output:
