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