Net::FreeDB2 modules in short

• Easy FreeDB/CDDB file handling.
• Connect to FreeDB/CDDB servers.
• Using both CDDBP and HTTP protocols.
• With HTTP proxy support (user and password).
• Read Net::FreeDB2 (3) as introduction.

Description

• This distribution first of all contains the Net::FreeDB2 Perl module hierarchy. These modules are intended to make the access to FreeDB/CDDB servers easier by abstraction of the FreeDB/CDDB protocols and mechanisms.
• Secondly, a few programs (fdcdi, fdlscat, fdmotd, fdoggenc, fdquery, fdrip and fdsites) are provided to illustrate the usage of the FreeDB Perl module hierarchy.
• Net::FreeDB2 is another FreeDB/CDDB access class hierarchy. The basics are similar to the other FreeDB/CDDB Perl modules. However, in the writers opinion, the details differ enough for it to have a certain right of existence. It's organization is inspired by Net::LDAP.

Prerequisites

• cdparanoia to read audio tracks.
• Error module for exception handling.
• LWP::UserAgent module for HTTP support.
• HTTP::Request module for HTTP support.
• IO::Socket::INET module for CDDBP support.
