use base 'Term::Caca';

WHY?

Somewhere deep in the bowels of gmail.google.com....

Subject: libcaca <-- our framebuffer

John Beppu to Pip

Pip,

Based on the name alone, I think this should be the basis of the
framebuffer for ASCIIker.  Even if the name weren't so apropos, the
library itself looks really good to me in terms of how it's coded and
the API that it provides.  I think making a set of perl modules around
this and making a Term::Caca distribution would be the right thing for
me to do.

Pip Stuart to me

My only gripe is ... well the spelling.  I believe it should almost
always be spelled 'kaka'.  Both spellings have been understood &&
acceptable according to linguists for quite some time but... my
highschool friends && I agreed that the K makes it harder && harsher
... && when you're discussing kaka... it should be harsh... it should
sound harsh... it should smell harsh.  The C is like a lame copout &&
should only be used by the uninformed or for temperament (which I have
never employed when referring to kaka).  Maybe it's like eskimos with
tons of names for snow.  I think of all sorts of stuff ... refuse...
somewhat affectionately yet recognizing the crap nature... in order of
use: kaka, dung, poop, crap, plop, slop, spit, stuf, shat, stul...
shit is reserved for extreme occasion.  These are all my 4-letter
variable names that have been with me for a long time.  This is deeply
rooted in me &&... I can't imagine ever accepting the C spelling.
It's weird... I could accept alternate spellings of any of the others
but I must protest for kaka.  I know it's rather difficult to take
this complaint seriously since it... well has no technical basis ...
but kaka is kaka... it's like KAKA!!!  I know that's a lame argument.
I'm not prepared to defend it more soundly... maybe the module could
be Term::Kaka that wraps libcaca?  I know that's probably weird but...
what else can I say?  It should be libkaka.

-Pip

but kaka is kaka... it's like KAKA!!! -Pip

...as opposed to 'caca', and thus, Term::Kaka was born to make Term::Caca be, sound, and smell harsh.
