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 http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/junk/vnc.html.
