    cowsay description

    cowsay is a simple text filter.

    Send some text into it, and you get a cow saying your text. Very easy to use, I would hope. All you need is a working installation of Perl 5. And if you think a talking cow isn't enough, cows can think too. All you have to do is run cowthink.

    Cows are a big part of my computing life. They're also pretty funny. (Especially when they have firearms, or when they are used for covert military operations. But that's another matter.) There is a cow living on top of my monitor at work. ASCII cows have been wandering in herds around the net for a long time, bringing good will and unnecessary bovine humor to all who meet them.

    Cows have been a big part of the history and culture of the Computer Science Undergraduate Association at the University of California at Berkeley. The cows traditionally seen there before I joined the organization were very limited in what they could say and do. I wrote cowsay in an effort to remove some of those limitations.

    Product's homepage

    Requirements:

    · Added cows/tux.cow, as suggested by xmanoel AT i.am
    · Compatibility with 5.6.0, due to a change in qw().
    · Renamed devil.cow to daemon.cow, since I know better.
