The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

  modid:       Net::LCDproc
  DSLIP:       RdpOb
  description: Perl interface to LCDproc:LCD display server
  userid:      WAYNE (Wayne Wylupski)
  chapterid:    5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
  communities:

  similar:

  rationale:

    The choice of the 'Net::LCDproc' namespace over something like
    'LCD::LCDproc' was not an easy choice. I would be interested to hear
    the advice of others regarding this decision.

    LCDproc is a server that drivers an LCD matrix attached via serial
    or parallel port to a computer. This new module enables 'clients' to
    communicate to the server and write to the LCD using Perl. There is
    no similar module that I can see.

    The problem with deciding the namespace is that in the future
    someone could write modules that connect with LCD displays directly,
    without LCDproc, therefore necessitating a new category. I might
    have to rename the module to LCD::LCDproc then.

    Again, I would appreciate suggestions or advice.

The resulting entry would be:

Net::
::LCDproc         RdpOb Perl interface to LCDproc:LCD display server WAYNE
