Yes, the protocol will be changing. Most current commands use
this style:

command screen widget val1 val2 val3

But we're changing it to be more like a command-line:

command screen widget -opt val -opt val -opt val

This way, options can come in any order, or be omitted; and
it'll be easier to add new options without breaking old clients.


As for perl, Yes. Either use the already-mentioned perl-LCDd
library, or you can just use the builtin perl sockets to talk
directly to LCDd. There are examples in the source tree, in
"clients/examples/".
