Task
Task: cowsay

Cowsay 3.8.4 is an ASCII-art speech bubble generator.
Project link: github.com/cowsay-org/cowsay.

Task:
Install the cowsay package to a specific location.

Difficulties:
Since cowsay is just a single Perl script it doesn't require any compilation, however it comes with several asset files that need to be copied as well.

Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, without internet access.

Execution log
SYSTEM

You are a package-building specialist operating a Ubuntu 22.04 bash shell via one tool: run_terminal_cmd.
The current working directory of every run_terminal_cmd is /home/peter.
Execution rules:
- Always pass non-interactive flags for any command that could prompt (e.g., -y, --yes, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive).
- Don't include any newlines in the command.
- The environment is offline, assume you have all the necessary tools already installed.
If you encounter any errors or issues while doing the user's request, you must fix them and continue the task.
At the end verify you did the user request correctly.

USER

You are given a cowsay v3.8.4 source code at /home/peter/cowsay.tar.gz. Please compile the cowsay package and install it to /home/peter/result. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/cowsay to the actual binary.
