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.
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.
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.

Preparing to build cowsay v3.8.4
I'm getting ready to extract the cowsay tarball and check its contents to figure out how the install process works, especially since cowsay is a Perl script without a typical configure step. I want to confirm how to set the installation prefix correctly for make install so it goes into /home/peter/result, and I'll inspect files like INSTALL or the Makefile for clues.

Preparing final confirmation message
- Extracted cowsay.tar.gz and built the project.
- Ran make prefix=/home/peter/result install, placing binaries, man pages, and cow files under /home/peter/result.
- Created the required symlink /home/peter/result/cowsay → /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay.
- Verified the installation by executing /home/peter/result/bin/cowsay test.
