The name ka-ching isn't set in stone yet. I just needed /something/ to name the directory and repository. I'm not completely satisfied with it so I expect I'll change it if I can think of something clever or more sensible.

I want a CLI interface to manage a budget and figured that I would write one. I've only just begun thinking about it though so I'm not really clear of where it's going to go.

I'm beginning with Perl because it's a fast language to "hack" away in and I rather enjoy it. I'm sure it will suffice and will probably make many tasks easier, but the language isn't set in stone so I may end up using more or porting completely to a different language if I feel inclined to do so.

I intend for the CLI to be similar to Git in that there will be many programs with specific purposes (adding expense items, adding payments, adding incomes, etc.) and the end result is hopefully very modular and clean.

Assume GPLv2+, though I haven't gotten around to adding licensing yet (since I only just mkdir'd).
