Description Lubomir Kundrak 2007-09-17 11:36:00 UTC
Description of problem:

Cowsay doesn't let Getopt::Std support --help correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cowsay-3.03-2.fc7

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cowsay --help
  
Actual results:

$ 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.]
^C
$

Expected results:

cow{say,think} version 3.03, (c) 1999 Tony Monroe
Usage: cowsay [-bdgpstwy] [-h] [-e eyes] [-f cowfile] 
          [-l] [-n] [-T tongue] [-W wrapcolumn] [message]
