Summary:
Premising that Remarkup supports a fully-featured cowsay generator (!)... since 2015 this awesome
thing no longer requires a binary cowsay command, since everything was rewritten in the core:
c705c8011e
So, some files from the legacy cowsay version in Perl can be safely removed.
We still thank the original author Tony Monroe for the original version in Perl (dated 2000),
and Evan Priestley for the re-implementation in PHP.
Probably nobody knows about this feature. This may change in the future. See T15401.
Closes T15418
Test Plan:
Try some awesome cows to verify that everything still works. For instance:
```
cowsay {{{
hello
}}}
```
```
cowsay (think=yes,eyes=XX,tongue=^^) {{{
hello
}}}
```
```
cowsay (cow=stegosaurus) {{{
hello
}}}
```
If nothing explodes, yuppie! Cowsay still works.
Credits to the original version in Perl remained in place.

cowsay is a configurable talking cow, written in Perl. It operates
|
|
much as the figlet program does, and it written in the same spirit
|
|
of silliness.
|
|
|
|
cowsay is actually a pretty old program. It has not really been
|
|
released before, and I am releasing it in the hope that someone
|
|
other than myself will be amused by it.
|
|
|
|
The first major version of cowsay had one cow and one message
|
|
template: $foo is $verb $bar. Not very flexible, but people managed
|
|
to do pretty interesting things with it. The second major version
|
|
scrapped many of the limitations of the first, by allowing arbitrary
|
|
messages, multiple cowfiles, and even support for cows talking in
|
|
figlet. The third version was a rewrite of the second into Perl
|
|
5, whereupon the code got a lot smaller and more manageable. :-)

If you are using Perl 5.004, you may have problems with Text::Wrap.
|
|
(Yeesh, this module changes more than it should...) I've included
|
|
a diff for the Text::Wrap (version 97.011701) that is shipped with
|
|
5.004_04; the concept is simple enough that even older Perls can
|
|
take advantage of this silly little patch; if there is a "sub fill"
|
|
in the documentation for the module, copy it to a more useful
|
|
section of that file. If not, just take "sub fill" wholesale from
|
|
the patch. Oh, and consider upgrading to 5.005_03 or later.
|
|
Please. You'll like it, I promise.

In September 2015, Phabricator imported the Perl version of cowsay
|
|
in the core, to use its nice template files. Anyway, the logic now
|
|
is not in Perl. It was re-implemented in PHP, here:
