Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cowsay
Here is what i see for cowsay version 3.03-9 on ubuntu 8.04:
$ cowsay --help
/usr/bin/cowsay version [unknown] calling Getopt::Std::getopts (version 1.05
[paranoid]),
running under Perl version 5.8.8.
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.]

I expected cowsay to show me the help, like so many other programs that
accept the --help option. Instead it confused me even more by showing
me some perl gobbledegook.
