=head1 NAME

Acme::Time::FooClock - Base class for picture clocks

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Used for making arbitrary picture-clock classes.

 use Acme::Time::FooClock;
 $times = [
        'Tomato',      'Eggplant',       'Carrot',     'Garlic',
        'Green Onion', 'Pumpkin',        'Asparagus',  'Onion',
        'Corn',        'Brussels Sprout', 'Red Pepper', 'Cabbage',
    ];
 return Acme::Time::FooClock::time($time);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

"And now it's time for silly songs with Larry."

Figures out time on the vegetable clock. See

=head1 BUGS/ToDo

I suppose one could consider the very existence of this module to be a
bug. Also, I have never been quite sure if that thing was a brussel
sprout or a cauliflower.

The input checking could probably be improved.

Make it easier to extend for use with other varieties of clocks. I am
considering having a more generic Acme::Time::Food, of which this would
be a subclass. Subclasses would just pass in a listref of foods. This
would make the module more useful to the sushi crowd, for example.

Some way to convert back to "real" time from vegetable notation.

=head1 SUPPORT

You're kidding, right? Stop being so silly!

Kudos to Kate L Pugh for submitting a patch, and demonstrating that
there are other people in the world as silly as I am.
