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?

A:
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/

Note that using strawberryperl's portable version the directory of strawberryperl must not include spaces, otherwise odd errors rise.
