How can I install and use ack library on Windows?

I have never used Perl, but I am really impressed by the ack, which I would like to use for source code searching, etc.

Can anyone guide me of how to make use of this excellent library on Windows?

Solution

  • Start by installing perl http://strawberryperl.com/

    Install App::Ack by typing (in a windows command shell)

    C:\>cpan App::Ack

    And undoubtedly this will prove useful http://learn.perl.org/
