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

  modid:       InfoSys::FreeDB
  DSLIP:       bdpOg
  description: OO FreeDB API supporting CDDBP & CDDBP/HTTP
  userid:      ZOCCAV (Vincenzo Zocca)
  chapterid:    7 (Database_Interfaces)
  communities:
    None yet

  similar:
    CDDB, Net::CDDB, FreeDB, Net::FreeDB, WebService::FreeDB

  rationale:

    1) "InfoSys::FreeDB" is a clean OO API for FreeDB/CDDB access. 2)
    Both CDDBP and CDDBP over HTTP protocols are supported. 3) No single
    available package does this. (I have checked) 4) This is an
    information system access API. Hence the choice "InfoSys::". 5) This
    is not a pure web service so "WebService::" is not suitable. 6)
    Design is already fixed. Module hierarchy name not yet. 7) Most code
    is already written. 8) Already in use by author. 9) Already uploaded
    in the form of "Net::FreeDB2". 10) brian_d_foy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    already checked out "Net::FreeDB2" and suggested
    "WebService::FreeDB2". 11) Brian did not find time to discuss
    "Net::FreeDB2"/"WebService::FreeDB2"/"InfoSys::FreeDB" any further.
    (I guess he is a busy man)

    From man page:

    InfoSys::FreeDB is a 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".

    Already developed packages:

    InfoSys::FreeDB InfoSys::FreeDB::Connection
    InfoSys::FreeDB::Connection::CDDBP InfoSys::FreeDB::Connection::HTTP
    InfoSys::FreeDB::Entry InfoSys::FreeDB::Error
    InfoSys::FreeDB::Error::Interface InfoSys::FreeDB::Error::Protocol
    InfoSys::FreeDB::Error::Syntax InfoSys::FreeDB::Match
    InfoSys::FreeDB::Response InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Hello
    InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Query InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Read
    InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::SignOn InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Sites
    InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Stat InfoSys::FreeDB::Site

The resulting entry would be:

InfoSys::
::FreeDB          bdpOg OO FreeDB API supporting CDDBP & CDDBP/HTTP  ZOCCAV
