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.
the Getopt issue has been fixed in cvs. thanks for the bug report.
