1 The CDDB module implements a Perl class for communicating with an
2 audio compact disc database through the CDDBP protocol. It allows
3 querying the database and submitting new entries to it via e-mail (the
4 Mail::Internet and Mail::Header modules are required for submitting,
5 but their absence won't affect other functions). Unlike its analogs,
6 CDDB.pm doesn't try to read a disc in your CD-ROM by itself, but
7 relies on the main program supplying disc data. Therefore, it is
8 particularly useful for developing software that deals with
9 alternative media, such as MPEG audio files.
