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)

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.
