It is highly portable and runs on any platform that runs Perl. ack is written and maintained by Andy Lester (andy@petdance.com).

Checking prerequisites To check ack's dependencies, run this command in the shell: perl -MFile::Next -E'say \"ack is ready to build!\"' If everything is OK, you'll see: ack is ready to build! If your installation of Perl is outdated, you'll see an error like this: Unrecognized switch: -Esay \"ack is ready to build!\" (-h will show valid options). If you don't have File::Next installed, you'll see an error like this: Can't locate File/Next.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/andy/...
