=head1 DESCRIPTION

Acme::Cow is the logical evolution of the old cowsay program.  Cows
are derived from a base class (Acme::Cow) or from external files.

Cows can be made to say or think many things, optionally filling
and justifying their text out to a given margin,

Cows are nothing without the ability to print them, or sling them
as strings, or what not.
