  Description     : Perl module implementing a simple VNC client

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a desktop sharing system which uses the
RFB (Remote FrameBuffer) protocol to remotely control another computer.
Net::VNC acts as a VNC client and communicates to a VNC server using the RFB
protocol, allowing you to capture the screen of the remote computer.

This module dies upon connection errors (with a timeout of 15 seconds) and
protocol errors.

This implementation is based largely on the RFB Protocol Specification,
http://www.realvnc.com/docs/rfbproto.pdf. That document has an error in the
DES encryption description, which is clarified via
