Description:   Opened: 2004-03-20 15:23 0000
When I run 'cowsay --help', it looks like there are issues with Getopt:Std and
it doesn't exit, so I have to hit Ctrl-C to get back to prompt.  Here is
complete output:

 $ cowsay --help
/usr/bin/cowsay version [unknown] calling Getopt::Std::getopts (version 1.05
[paranoid]),
running under Perl version 5.8.3.

Usage: cowsay [-OPTIONS [-MORE_OPTIONS]] [--] [PROGRAM_ARG1 ...]

The following single-character options are accepted:
        With arguments: -e -f -T -W
        Boolean (without arguments): -b -d -g -h -l -L -n -N -p -s -t -w -y

Options may be merged together.  -- stops processing of options.
Space is not required between options and their arguments.
  [Now continuing due to backward compatibility and excessive paranoia.
   See ``perldoc Getopt::Std'' about $Getopt::Std::STANDARD_HELP_VERSION.]

OK ciaranm was having fun at my expense so ignore that.

/me looks up the work 'gullible' in dictionary.

Anyway the help stil doesn't work but I don't know who to ass

Didn't you hear? They took the word 'gullible' out of the dictionary last year.
