NAME

App::Ack - A container for functions for the ack program

VERSION

Version 1.20

SYNOPSIS

No user-serviceable parts inside. ack is all that should use this.

FUNCTIONS

is_filetype( $filename, $filetype )

Asks whether $filename is of type $filetype.

filetypes( $filename )

Returns a list of types that $filename could be. For example, a file foo.pod could be "perl" or "parrot".

filetypes_supported()

Returns a list of all the types that we can detect.

interesting_files( \&is_interesting, $should_descend, @starting points )

Returns an iterator that walks directories starting with the items in @starting_points. If $should_descend is false, don't descend into subdirectories. Each file to see if it's interesting is passed to is_interesting, which must return true.

All file-finding in this module is adapted from Mark Jason Dominus' marvelous Higher Order Perl, page 126.

_candidate_files( $dir )

Pulls out the files/dirs that might be worth looking into in $dir. If $dir is the empty string, then search the current directory. This is different than explicitly passing in a ".", because that will get prepended to the path names.
