Subject: Usage message on bad command name should go to STDERR
The usage message generated by a bad command name goes to STDOUT, which means piping the output into something else causes unexpected behavior. This can be easily observed by running something like 'dzil foo | cpanm'. Ideally, when it's being run because of a missing or invalid subcommand name, the 'help' builtin would output to STDERR instead of STDOUT.
